WATCH: Power Line EXPLODES as It’s Struck by Lightning in Startling Footage

Shocking footage out of South Carolina showed a transformer being struck by lightning and exploding into a fireball, startling nearby drivers.

Brian Kilmeade aired the footage from the town of Mount Pleasant on Tuesday’s Fox & Friends. The dash cam video shows power lines being hit and then erupting into flames amid heavy rain.

The video, originally posted by the Mount Pleasant Police Department, showed the lightning struck along Highway 17 that knocked out power in the area.

“This was caught on an officer’s dash cam around 11 a.m. at the intersection of Hwy 17 & Shelmore Blvd, bringing down wires across the roadway and causing widespread power outages. More than a dozen Officers and CSOs managed traffic at seven intersections for roughly three hours,” Mount Pleasant PD announced on X.

Meteorologist Adam Klotz joined Kilmeade to report on the “round after round of thunderstorms” hitting South Carolina and nearby areas with a “medium risk” of flooding in the north Georgia mountains and southern Appalachian mountains.

No one was injured from the lightning strike, according to police, but Highway 17 was closed down for several hours.

“A bit too much excitement for a Monday! The lightning strike caused our power outages and traffic delays,” the police department wrote on X. “Fortunately, no one was injured, and [Dominion Energy] responded quickly, restoring power and removing the downed wires.”
