Video shows lightning strikes a tree in Florida on a sunny day

Curiouser and curiouser …

A video from a security camera in front of a house in Tampa, Florida, captured the amazing sight: lightning striking a tree on a completely cloudless day.

Jonathan Moore, whose Thinkware camera captured the thunder in broad daylight, admitted that the incident took him by surprise — primarily because the day was unusually sunny, and the nearest thunderstorm raged eight miles from his house.

According to the National Weather Service, on August 10, a series of thunderstorms occurred in west and central Florida, bringing with them lightning strikes and gusty winds.

As meteorologists explain, sometimes lightning has a habit of moving miles away from storm clouds — and eventually reaching the ground in areas where there is not even the slightest hint of rain.
