Watch a reporter's close call with a lightning strike on camera
A video out of Phoenix, Arizona, shows lightning striking the ground startlingly close to a local reporter as he prepared to go on camera.
Matt Rodewald, who works for Phoenix's Fox affiliate, was covering the monsoon storms in the area on Wednesday. Just before he began his live report, the lightning hit. According to a tweet from the station, it knocked out power in the vicinity, which you can see in the clip.
In a remarkable display of calm, he still did his segment.

Rodewald's video isn't the only wild footage from the day. Several people posted harrowing videos of hail from nearby Flagstaff, including a particularly enthralling one involving a trampoline.

The storm, which also brought down trees and blew dust, reportedly left 14,000 people without power.
