Horrifying surveillance footage shows the moment a man is struck by lightning while walking his three dogs in Texas.
Alexander Coreas is seen in the video, shared by Stuebner Airline Veterinary Hospital, on Thursday evening around 7pm walking his German Shepherd's, Sophie, Honey and Hazel.
Coreas is shown struck by a flash of lightning that sends him crashing to the ground.
His three terrified dogs are seen running away as he remained motionless on the cement.

AKA “Human Dynamo”.
From the movie “Benjamin Button”.
You’re welcome. Now on to “I can see clearly now, that Lorraine is gone”.
Dang. That looked painful.
Had a strike about 50 or so yards in front of me once while hunting. Mid afternoon, hardly anything in the sky above. I don’t recall a flash, just a mesquite tree exploding in front of me. My ears took the brunt of it.
A Kansas marathon runner killed by lighting close to the finish line. Talk about when it’s your time to go.

Whoa!
I’d never walk in the rain again.
right? betcha HE doesn’t...

Amazing! Wonder what he was thinking after the second strike.
So your neighbor was a Democrat whistleblower?
third time’s a charm??? i’d a crawled home...
I’d have stopped off and bought a Powerball ticket on the way home!
Unlucky to have been hit and lucky to have someone there to save his life.
Prayers for his recovery.
#25 That was no lightning.
That was an alien hunting you.

LOLOL!!! 100%
When I was thirteen, my family was camping in Arches National Monument (later made into a National Park) in our pickup camper. I had a sudden need to go visit the restroom. I got out and was walking to the restrooms when my hair started standing up on my head and I started smelling a strong smell of ozone all around me. A bolt of lightning suddenly struck an eight foot or so tall rock outcropping about ten feet of so from me. The sound was incredibly loud. I did not need to go to the restroom any more. . . I had to go back to the camper and change my shorts.
My ears were ringing for several hours afterwards, once I regained the ability to hear anything at all. My parents and sister were trying to ask me what happened and I couldn’t hear what they were saying. All I could hear was a high-pitched whining sound and muffled rumble in my ears. I could sort of hear what I was saying. . .
I was almost my full height at that age, so I am glad there was some higher ground for the lightning to strike rather than my near six foot high head!
There’s a lightning documentary, maybe ~20 years old, that mentions a woman that got zapped three times. I don’t remember if it mentioned Roy Cleveland. I think I’d remember 7 over 3.
Any way, the first time was as a kid running inside past the washing machine and the lightning strike outside traveled through the pipes to zap her.
After the third time, she moved from lightning-rich Florida to lightning-poor San Francisco.
My brother was out clearing leaves off a drain (all PVC) in front of our back door, standing in water when lightning struck next door. He got tingled.
Wasn’t he on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show?
