Video: Teen Almost Gets Hit by Lightning While Fishing on Texas Lake

Tucker Owings, 16, says he has God to thank for his not receiving 1.21 gigawatts of electricity head-on when a storm suddenly came upon the lake he was fishing.

Owings was fishing Lake Athens in east Texas Saturday when the thunderhead appeared.

“We were literally feeling what I would describe as static on our rods. At that point we quickly started to head to the ramp,” he told KLTV.

Good move.

Fortunately for the Internet, Owings’s windshield-mounted GoPro camera caught all the action.

Dangerous!
