the lightening struck just over the house which you cant see on the video i wasnt even 10 Meters away i remember the flash then right after it a really big bang

lakeland radio (local radio) said that it has been reported that it has been the worse downfall and thunderstorm in the past 30 years the thunderstorm killed a rescue man (early stages of reportings)

and reports of houses burning?

There is nothing like having a lighting strike so close that the flash and crack happen at once.
When the car alarms all go off and a blind deaf person could tell what just happened.

1700 people worlwide died of lighting strikes in 2004.
60 died of shark attack
IN the US there are an avg of 84 deaths per yr
dog attacks avg 31
bee stings avg 53

Here is a fascinating article on lighting strikes.
You must login or register to view this content.
"Incredibly, males are killed by lightning four-times more often than females. Statistically, males account for 84 percent of all lightning related deaths. The reason for this disparity is unknown. Lightning strikes are not always fatal; however, those who do survive often suffer horrible aftereffects including blindness, deafness and irreversible brain damage. Those who suffer a direct strike and are resuscitated, typically expire within days. The internal organs of the victim, particularly the heart and kidneys, are in many cases severely damaged by the electrical jolt. The portion of the brain that is responsible for respiration may be irreparably injured and, therefore, cease to function properly. In most cases, death, although not immediate, is inevitable. This creates an additional difficulty for the death investigator who is not able to view the original accident scene but is notified only after the victim succumbs at the hospital. "

I was driving once and I was coming up on a intersection right when I got into the intersection a huge bolt of lightning hit the traffic light that I was about to drive under. I saw the bolt come down and hit it right before I drove under it.
