Dramatic Video: Man Struck By Lightning While Walking Dogs

A still shot from a surveillance video of a man being struck
by lightning in Texas.  He was found with no pulse, but bystanders
performed CPR and he is now recovering.  The dogs ran off
but police found them and gave them back to the man
after he was released from the hospital.

I guess this is an extreme example of why you shouldn't be out in thunderstorms.

A man walking his dogs recently in Spring, Texas was struck by lightning as he crossed a parking lot. It was all caught on a security camera. Video is at the bottom of this post.

Thankfully, there were a number of bystanders who saw it happen and rushed to the man's aid. When they got to the victim, he was not breathing, some of his clothes were charred and his shoes and socks had been blown off,  ABC13 in Houston reported.

The Good Samaritans performed CPR and called 911, saving the man's life. The man, Alex Coreas, spent four days in the hospital but is now at home.

Coreas told ABC13 that he was walking his dogs and noticed a thunderstorm pop up suddenly. He started walking faster to make it home when he was struck.

When the lightning struck, the man's dogs ran off into the woods, but police later found them uninjured.  Coreas was reunited with the dogs on Sunday.

Here's the video:

Uruguay Tornado Hits Store; Watch This Incredible Surveillance Video

Shoppers and employees of a Dolores Uruguay
shoe store look out at windows at an approaching large
tornadoe. Seconds later, they fled to a back room
as wind and debris swept through the store.v

Last week, a terrible tornado struck Uruguay, killing four people and trashing much of the city of Dolores.

I'm always particularly fascinated by surveillance videos of these things, and one of them, taken in a Dolores shoe store on a busy street corner, is one of the most riveting.

In it, you first see store employees and shoppers looking out the window in fascination and worry as they apparently see the tornado approaching.

As the wind picks up, one by one, they flee the large glass windows in front of the store, probably for a more sheltered back room.

These people apparently with the well-placed notion the windows are about to shatter.

As things start to get really bad, you see a car turn the street corner outside. I imagine whoever was in that car was terrified.

Then we see lots of debris blowing past outside, and also blowing into the store as windows and fixtures cave in.
