Dramatic dashcam video caught the moment a bolt of lightning struck an electric pole in South Carolina, causing a transformer to explode — shooting a fireball into the sky beside oncoming traffic. An officer with the Mount Pleasant Police Department was cruising along Highway 17 while other drivers were sitting in traffic during their morning commute in a thunderstorm, footage shared to the department’s X account Monday shows. In the blink of an eye, a blinding bolt of lightning strikes an electric pole just off the left side of the road, with the surge of electricity so strong that it shorted out the streetlight off to the right side of the road.
