The footage which was uploaded to Reddit shows two lads filming a storm from the overestimated safety of a boating garage.

As one brave chap pokes the camera outside the door his pal warns him ‘don’t go outside’.

Just after saying this a flash of white fills the screen as a rogue streak of lightning hits just metres away from them.

Probably understandably, the lads absolutely lose their shit as they try to comprehend what just happened.
