This is what it's like to stand right next to a lightning strike!

Witness the power of nature in all its glory!

You have probably all seen a lightning strike, but have you ever been two meters away from one? 

Now imagine being super close to a lightning strike and capturing it on camera?!

Texas resident Christopher Aldrete managed to do just that, capturing footage of lightning striking his neighbor's house during a thunderstorm that led to flooding in the area. 

More so, he was able to capture the scary strike's loud bang. If you've ever heard a gunshot, it's that but probably ten times louder!

This man can consider himself very lucky that he was not outside at the time!

Have you ever been this close to a lightning strike?
