Texas Man Nearly Hit By Lightning
Justin Howard in Houston, Texas says he's counting his blessings after narrowly being missed by a lightning strike.
Howard says he was recording a storm rolling through when a bolt of lightning hit a tree just feet away from him.
He wasn't seriously hurt, but he certainly felt something.
"I was pro fighter for a year. I feel like I had a really hard sparring match. Like my bones are achy. I just feel like, I feel punched. It was the craziest, weirdest feeling I've ever felt," Howard said.
This just happened to the tree in our front yard!!! Melonie Howard #HolyCrap
