Mom thought it was funny too. That’s why she was filming.It’s s kid? That’s shitty. I knew I’d regret posting this.
No one to blame but myself.
“It was morning, I was with my daughter in the room calming her, because she is scared of lightning,” said Carolina Kotur. “My son was walking in the rain and I started filming because I was making a joke.”
That’s when the lightning bolt struck down, nearly hitting him.
Though the bolt missed the 12-year-old, it did set a nearby fence on fire.
Doesn't even look like it was close.Looks like it hit the tree in the background. I've been nearly that close to a lightning strike, maybe about 40 ft. away, and WOW the amount energy there.
So i didn't occur to the mom that sending her kid out into a thunderstorm holding a lightening rod could be a problem ?It’s a 12 year old boy in Argentina. He survived!!
