Footage, filmed in McLean, TX, USA on July 12, of a bolt of lightning hitting a gas station close to where the filmer was capturing the video.

"I was storm chasing a line of severe thunderstorms. Due to poor planning, I needed to get gas," the filmer wrote online.

"I waited a little too long, and got overran by the core."

I witnessed several close cloud to ground lightning strikes, including this one, which hit the gas station," he continued.
