Published
South Carolina lit up -- literally -- when a wild lightning strike blew up an electrical transformer, and the whole jaw-dropping moment was caught on an officer’s dashcam.
Check this out -- Highway 17 in Mount Pleasant was already a mess with torrential wind and rain early Monday, when a massive lightning bolt struck a utility pole, blowing it to bits and sending a giant fireball shooting into the sky.
It was a terrifying sight -- happening literally in a flash, turning the sky pitch-black, with thick smoke from the flames drifting across the road.
The chaos didn’t stop there -- the blast knocked out traffic lights for three hours and caused traffic delays. But luckily, no one was hurt.
The National Weather Service had already warned of Monday thunderstorms -- and parts of South Carolina are still under a flash flood watch.
