Insane Upward Lightning Strike in Kansas Caught on Camera

The video shows a rare upward strike from a lightning Strike that appears to start at the ground and proceeds to the cloud.

A photographer captured the most bizarre lightning strike on video on an electric night in Kansas, US, which will definitely make your eyes pop.

On Tuesday night, heavy rain, hail, and lightning pelted the Kansas City metropolitan region along the Missouri-Kansas border. Taylor Vonfeldt, a photographer who took the video on his phone, described it as the “most wild strike of lightning” he had ever seen.

According to the media, Vaisala meteorologist Chris Vagasky explained, “Usually what happens when you have upward lightning is that you have a strong electric field go over the top of a tall object, like a skyscraper or radio tower, and upward leaders are initiated off the tower as a result.”

They added, “They connect with the electric field in the cloud and you get lightning”

With over 2.3 million views and 81k likes, the video uploaded on Twitter has gone viral.

That night, the National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the area, predicting nickel-sized hail and destructive winds.
