These guys managed to capture a 2.2 million volt lightning strike using just a thick piece of Plexiglass. As the lightning strike travels through it, it melts the plastic, leaving an imprint of the strike, called a Lichtenberg figure. Pretty cool, isn't it?

Here's an amazingly close lighting strike, filmed in Oklahoma City on 23rd march 2007. It's pretty scary to see it so close, and to realize the aftermath of the lighting on that poor tree. Take look. Spectacular!
