You'd think so but with the massive distances that lightning travels over at hundreds of thousands to millions of volts, even if a large electric field was generated from the battery (which it doesn't but lets say it does) wouldn't make much of a difference to the stepped leader as its descending. It had to have already been quite close to the car (within a few feet) for it have any kind of influence on it. He just simply found himself in wrong place at the wrong time. The reason why the bolt hit the antenna in particular is because of the way high voltage charges run away from surfaces, the sharper (Pointy) the surface is, the easier it is for charges to jump to the air so this is the most likely place for an upward streamer to develop on the vehicle in the case of the Prius.

And we tryed here in our labratory to kill a EV with high voltage cable connected to the car and run on with 365 kV and 1 500 000 000 A. Nothing happen only good sparks from car to ground.
I remember I was outside my house once with my 2 year old son. It was right before a storm, there was a weird electric feeling in the air and i thought "ive got to get him inside quick" As soon as i picked him up under the arms, there was a huge explosion and a gigantic bolt on lightning struck the roof of my house about 5-10 feet away from us. It melted the TV aerial and damage the roof. It was absolutely terrifying lol. Ive never been so close to a bolt of lightning.
@@madnessends2477 I guess a static electric feeling is a better way to describe it. I dont know. The air felt charged. Like it changed from one second to the next. That's the best way I can describe it. But if you're ever in that situation, you'll recognize it immediately.
fun fact. cars are designed with the chance of lightning striking them. it happens. but as cars age things break down. one of the simplest things people dont care about can save you and your cars life. when i lived in florida also known as the lightning capitol of the world. we got alot of cars with electrical problems that just didnt make sense. turns out it was lightning. i noticed these cars with strange electrical issues burned modules also had some strange marks on the body of the car. so i started checking all the grounds and many of them had bad ground straps. they corrode and break. or when too much current goes through they burned. bad grounds let the voltage build up rather than flow through the body and frame. one of the trucks at our shop we called cursed was the very same thing. he lived on a farm and parked the truck in a large open space so it kept getting zapped. wed replace fried modules a week or 2 later it had same problem. or something else fried. the ground straps didnt last long either. then one day i joked with the boss ohh hes pry just zapping the truck to drive us crazy. the guy laughed said hes doing no such thing. then one day he seen it. the truck got zapped he went out to try to start it the next day and it was dead. fried all the same stuff. so he had it towed again. we replaced thousands of dollars in parts again. but i upgraded the ground straps. the stock ones are garbage anyways. he parks it closer to a building now and it still runs. something about that truck just attracts lightning. but parking it in a large open area isnt really helping his case. it was just a strange combination of issues all amounting to a truck he was making payments on and couldnt even drive it.
Man that happened to me once. It was insane. Right after the lightning struck at the exact moment I reached 80 mph, I went straight back to the future. It was one heck of a ride but I'll never forget it. Great Scott!
Thats me in the distance turning around to check out the damage ahead after all those trees got smoked in front of us. We heard the lighting and saw you guys stopped along there after we turned around. Had no idea that bolt hit him.
@@MorePi not entirely sure. I know the NWS rated the damage in Gilmore City as tornado damage and radar supports a circulation somewhere near by around the time you got struck. At a minimum I think it was RFD but there could have been a tornado in there without an apparent condensation funnel. There what looked to be ground circulation to the ESE just after you got struck but hard to confirm. You can take a gander at our perspective of the event at 14:30+ in this video ua-cam.com/video/9v67jSDxVto/v-deo.html
(Retired lightning hardening guru for the IT department of a Fortune 100 electric company) The Prius body is steel - unlike many car bodies around the turn of the century - so the driver was safe inside. In a Saturn it would have been a different story. Lightning damage in a metal structure is 90% of the time the result of ground loops - the equipment is not all returned to one ground point. The remaining 10% comes from induction; lightning strikes can have rate of current rise (di/dt) of 100 billion amps per second, but are more commonly around a tenth of that. The result is that all current paths oriented in the path of lightning flow receive a serious amount of energy in a tenth of a second or so. It does not matter at all that this is a hybrid, largely because the hybrid system wiring does not involve multiple grounds. However, virtually all modern cars are vulnerable to lightning damage from ground loops and induction. Never underestimate the energy transfer of induction in a lightning strike - if a person is in the wrong position (like leaning against a metal pole or building) it can kill hundreds of feet from the strike path. Finally, the car will probably have to be written off even if if drives away okay now. When I worked in avionics I was tasked with evaluating damage to a light jet that had suffered a strike on the tail when chained down. Everything worked except two really vulnerable pieces: the radar and the ADF. Within six months virtually every electronic device in the plane died.
@@TheShutBox the lights immediately turned off. Electronics weren't happy after that! Looked like it struck right where the batteries are housed too... Eek!
@CantOutRunADuck Funny enough I read how UFO vids are stuck in constant debates. When it's low quality it's too blurry and when it's high def people call it CGI
Those cars are literally at the right conditions for this, as they are in nothing but completely open field and they are the tallest objects for miles around.
Years ago while riding a tractor with a couple of my cousins from the farm pond, we got caught in a sudden summer storm and before we could get to the barn a bolt of lightning struck the front of the tractor causing the front end to come completely off the ground. We had a backhoe attachment on it at the time which in turn helped keeping us from flipping completely over backwards. We were soaking wet by the time we got back, but no one suffered any injuries. This was just one of many near misses I've encountered with lightning throughout my life... No direct hits yet! 😁 ⚡
This happened to me once while I was driving through a street, which is apparently rare. I don’t know how I didn’t crash cause it lit up my whole windscreen. I initially thought my car exploded
I remember a lighting storm was hitting my city, people we’re driving crazy cause there was lighting striking everywhere, I was trying to get my car to my garage so I was going like 65 on 45 road and next thing I know a cop was chasing me, it wasn’t because I was speeding it was because he was trying to get everyone to a safe spot. I live in a tornado alley but never really experienced a lighting storm that was striking really close to everyone the whole time.
It always perplexes me why people don’t like Priuses. It does its job of getting to Point A and Point B well and they practically last forever. I just don’t get it.
@@jayman4874 Because many priuses have this feature where it uses friction from pressing the brakes to charge the car a tiny bit to conserve power. As a result, this incentivizes people to constantly press the brakes, at least a little, any chance they get. Because of this, prius drivers are usually extremely annoying to be stuck behind. They usually go way slower than surrounding cars and they make frequent and sudden brakes. Outside of that, the driver gets constant updates on what their MPG is based off of how fast they are going and other things like that. This exacerbates the problem because prius drivers constantly adjust their speed in the middle of highways etc. In conclusion, priuses are annoying af.
@@ScotchTapeMafia literally everybody hates Prius drivers. They're such a nuisance, second to cab drivers. God I can't stand even seeing a Prius, immediately annoys me😭😭
@@ScotchTapeMafia This doesn't make sense, the driver would be better off letting the vehicle roll instead of constant breaking and pressing the gas. There is inefficiency in charging the battery from the kinetic energy, where's just letting the car roll is the most efficient you could do.
I remember when I was really young living in Las Vegas, I was in the car with my dad. We were driving through a storm back home when we came upon an intersection. While we were waiting at the red light, lighting struck the center of the intersection. Our car didn't die but man, it scared the shit out of us.
@@robinlv3489 Same; born and raised. I may relocate to another state though or maybe back to Pahrump. I was wearing one of my cowboy hats the other week and a gas station attendant said "you're not from here are you?" I wanted to say "b***h, YOU'RE not from here!" In all seriousness, though, the city really has been ruined by the massive amount of transplants and it affects the entire state. The issues are becoming a little harder to ignore than people thinking another person is strange for wearing western wear.
I had a 2016 jeep wrangler that got struck late at night by lightning. My daughter came in and asked if someone was in my car because the headlights were on. I went out and the car was dead except for the headlights. Had to disconnect the fried battery, and the only place I could see evidence of a strike was a black burn mark on front tire. The car was declared a total loss.
That's weird considering rubber is not conducive, and electricity moves through space with less resistance . Not saying it's impossible but really unlikely. Nice
@Zyko Manam Those sensors are using eddy currents produced by electromagnetic fields, not using metal in your tires to send a current into your vehicle.
When I was a teenager, my mom didn't want me to stay home alone when she had to work a late shift, so she had my cousin come stay with me. We were standing at my aluminum backdoor watching a thunderstorm, when lightning must have hit the door, because suddenly all we could see was an intense flash of blue light and then heard and felt a loud peal of thunder. Ironically, we were probably almost struck by lightening, but if my mom had let me stay home alone, I would have spent the evening safely sitting on my bed listening to music or reading.
Holy shit, this is insane! I was worried that would be me under the Goldfield cell just after sunset, there were CGs hitting all around me, multiple per second. I'm glad he's okay.
@@RevanBC their car did. Which is fine. Even when you’re pinned by an electric pole, it’s safer to stay in your vehicle unless it starts smoking. And if you were to get out of your car, get both feet planted and shuffle.
I had a few close to my house. So I'm in the field, usually looking for smoke because we're all to aware of grass fires started by lightning in this area. One in the neighbours, one very close a few minutes later, and after that another one was so close I got the flash like a camera flash in front of me. PHENOMENAL noise that day. Best is when you feel the ground rumble.

It seems the lightning struck a small antenna ion the rear of the car. You can see the lightning hit it in the slowed down part and the antenna went flying. What a clip, and thank goodness for HD dash cams.
Google : the chances of you getting struck by lightning are less than 1 in a million. UA-cam comments: "tHiS hApPeNeD tO mE aNd 3 TiMes To My UnCle FroDO."
OMG I was the person in that car! I didn't expect someone to actually take a video of it! I heard a huge crack and felt a flash. My ears rang a bit and I was very spooked. However, I didn't touch the metal parts after realising what was happening. Other than that, it was pretty tranquil inside but the air smelled a little metallic. I was fine, overall.
I have many questions... Did the algorithm bring you to this video or did you search for cars being struck by lightning? Why were you stopped in the middle of the road? Why is your car covered in shit?
@@Datsagoodcurry Yes I searched for it. The car was pretty grimy because we haven't cleaned it during several outings. I should say that our lights and radio went out after the strike so we had to repair it. Thankfully the car still worked so we could drive. It stopped because I pushed the brakes.

This happens all the time in Texas storms. Live here long enough and you will witness it real life too. Had one hit the car directly in front of me, one also hit a pole about 50 ft away while at work once, the list can go on and on really
For all these new comments going on about back to the future, something I found interesting was that the reason it's 88mph is that Einstein theorised that if you run around a tree at 87mph, you'd be occupying the same space as yourself. So at 88mph, you'd be ahead of your past self. This has been a Ted talk brought to you by From the Game Throne.
Wonder if this was a positive strike since it apparently came from a stratiform precipitation region and there were no discernible return strokes. A lot of branching would be a clue too, but this shot is way too cropped to determine that.
Well, hybrid and electric cars actually have a traditional 12V system, and also a high voltage system for the drivetrain and A/C compressor. But regardless, even if this was a completely old school car with minimal electronics it'd likely have components that are flat out welded together from that level of current.

@@RoteLars What are you talking about? Prius used NiMh batteries for the hybrid system.
@@MiGujack3 Prius using NiHm system and that is not isolated from rest of the chassis. It's a reason that type of car was killed in lightning hit. Li-Ion systems fully electric have is isolated even from the body. And we tryed here in our labratory to kill a EV with high voltage cable connected to the car and run on with 365 kV and 1 500 000 000 A. Nothing happen only good sparks from car to ground.

How do you know they’re ok?
I remember I was outside my house once with my 2 year old son. It was right before a storm, there was a weird electric feeling in the air and i thought "ive got to get him inside quick" As soon as i picked him up under the arms, there was a huge explosion and a gigantic bolt on lightning struck the roof of my house about 5-10 feet away from us. It melted the TV aerial and damage the roof. It was absolutely terrifying lol. Ive never been so close to a bolt of lightning.
How terrifying. Can I ask you how an “electric feelings” feels? I wanna know in case I ever need to identify it
@@madnessends2477 if you stand outside, you might feel your hair rising up slowly. Find a shade ASAP!!

@@madnessends2477 I guess a static electric feeling is a better way to describe it. I dont know. The air felt charged. Like it changed from one second to the next. That's the best way I can describe it. But if you're ever in that situation, you'll recognize it immediately.

Hello Pelo
OMG ITS PEWDIEPIE
fun fact. cars are designed with the chance of lightning striking them. it happens.
but as cars age things break down. one of the simplest things people dont care about can save you and your cars life.
when i lived in florida also known as the lightning capitol of the world. we got alot of cars with electrical problems that just didnt make sense. turns out it was lightning.
i noticed these cars with strange electrical issues burned modules also had some strange marks on the body of the car.
so i started checking all the grounds and many of them had bad ground straps. they corrode and break. or when too much current goes through they burned.
bad grounds let the voltage build up rather than flow through the body and frame. one of the trucks at our shop we called cursed was the very same thing.
he lived on a farm and parked the truck in a large open space so it kept getting zapped. wed replace fried modules a week or 2 later it had same problem. or something else fried. the ground straps didnt last long either. then one day i joked with the boss ohh hes pry just zapping the truck to drive us crazy.
the guy laughed said hes doing no such thing. then one day he seen it. the truck got zapped he went out to try to start it the next day and it was dead. fried all the same stuff.
so he had it towed again. we replaced thousands of dollars in parts again. but i upgraded the ground straps. the stock ones are garbage anyways. he parks it closer to a building now and it still runs. something about that truck just attracts lightning. but parking it in a large open area isnt really helping his case. it was just a strange combination of issues all amounting to a truck he was making payments on and couldnt even drive it.
Man that happened to me once. It was insane. Right after the lightning struck at the exact moment I reached 80 mph, I went straight back to the future. It was one heck of a ride but I'll never forget it. Great Scott!
*88

88 ffs
Was literally gonna make this joke lmao
88 and it would’ve hit 2.1k likes (I know this because this happened to me at 88 mph.)
Thats me in the distance turning around to check out the damage ahead after all those trees got smoked in front of us. We heard the lighting and saw you guys stopped along there after we turned around. Had no idea that bolt hit him.
What do you think, was that really a tornado that did that damage? Or could it have been micro burst?
@@MorePi not entirely sure. I know the NWS rated the damage in Gilmore City as tornado damage and radar supports a circulation somewhere near by around the time you got struck. At a minimum I think it was RFD but there could have been a tornado in there without an apparent condensation funnel. There what looked to be ground circulation to the ESE just after you got struck but hard to confirm. You can take a gander at our perspective of the event at 14:30+ in this video ua-cam.com/video/9v67jSDxVto/v-deo.html

Hola 😁
God was mad at Brian Griffin again.
Your comment has turned my whole life upside down face.
Not funny
"Ok Thor, hit me!"
(Retired lightning hardening guru for the IT department of a Fortune 100 electric company)
The Prius body is steel - unlike many car bodies around the turn of the century - so the driver was safe inside. In a Saturn it would have been a different story.
Lightning damage in a metal structure is 90% of the time the result of ground loops - the equipment is not all returned to one ground point. The remaining 10% comes from induction; lightning strikes can have rate of current rise (di/dt) of 100 billion amps per second, but are more commonly around a tenth of that. The result is that all current paths oriented in the path of lightning flow receive a serious amount of energy in a tenth of a second or so.
It does not matter at all that this is a hybrid, largely because the hybrid system wiring does not involve multiple grounds. However, virtually all modern cars are vulnerable to lightning damage from ground loops and induction. Never underestimate the energy transfer of induction in a lightning strike - if a person is in the wrong position (like leaning against a metal pole or building) it can kill hundreds of feet from the strike path.
Finally, the car will probably have to be written off even if if drives away okay now. When I worked in avionics I was tasked with evaluating damage to a light jet that had suffered a strike on the tail when chained down. Everything worked except two really vulnerable pieces: the radar and the ADF. Within six months virtually every electronic device in the plane died.
Take 20 years off in 1/10 of a second.
only the outside skin is plastic on a saturn
it's still all metal shell on the inside
Man I was always told being in a car during a lightning storm was safe.
So, my 2014 Toyota Camry, which I know has major plastic body parts, might not be safe if struck by lightening?
Inside a car is the safest place to be during a lightning strike, due to the four rubber tyres touch the ground.

Years ago while riding a tractor with a couple of my cousins from the farm pond, we got caught in a sudden summer storm and before we could get to the barn a bolt of lightning struck the front of the tractor causing the front end to come completely off the ground. We had a backhoe attachment on it at the time which in turn helped keeping us from flipping completely over backwards.
We were soaking wet by the time we got back, but no one suffered any injuries.

It always perplexes me why people don’t like Priuses. It does its job of getting to Point A and Point B well and they practically last forever. I just don’t get it.
@@jayman4874 Because many priuses have this feature where it uses friction from pressing the brakes to charge the car a tiny bit to conserve power. As a result, this incentivizes people to constantly press the brakes, at least a little, any chance they get. Because of this, prius drivers are usually extremely annoying to be stuck behind. They usually go way slower than surrounding cars and they make frequent and sudden brakes. Outside of that, the driver gets constant updates on what their MPG is based off of how fast they are going and other things like that. This exacerbates the problem because prius drivers constantly adjust their speed in the middle of highways etc. In conclusion, priuses are annoying af.
@@ScotchTapeMafia literally everybody hates Prius drivers. They're such a nuisance, second to cab drivers. God I can't stand even seeing a Prius, immediately annoys me😭😭
@@ScotchTapeMafia This doesn't make sense, the driver would be better off letting the vehicle roll instead of constant breaking and pressing the gas. There is inefficiency in charging the battery from the kinetic energy, where's just letting the car roll is the most efficient you could do.
I remember when I was really young living in Las Vegas, I was in the car with my dad. We were driving through a storm back home when we came upon an intersection. While we were waiting at the red light, lighting struck the center of the intersection. Our car didn't die but man, it scared the shit out of us.

I Have always wondered about if this was possible. Thanks for catching it on camera!
There are days when I wander about, wondering about certain things. You might call me a wunderkind.
I had a 2016 jeep wrangler that got struck late at night by lightning. My daughter came in and asked if someone was in my car because the headlights were on. I went out and the car was dead except for the headlights. Had to disconnect the fried battery, and the only place I could see evidence of a strike was a black burn mark on front tire. The car was declared a total loss.
That's weird considering rubber is not conducive, and electricity moves through space with less resistance . Not saying it's impossible but really unlikely. Nice
Wow a total loss! That sucks.
@Zyko Manam wouldn’t that sudden voltage from a bolt be able to blow the tires out then?
@Zyko Manam Those sensors are using eddy currents produced by electromagnetic fields, not using metal in your tires to send a current into your vehicle.
@@nolancain8792 His explanation is complete hogwash, those sensors use eddy currents generated by electromagnetic fields.
When I was a teenager, my mom didn't want me to stay home alone when she had to work a late shift, so she had my cousin come stay with me. We were standing at my aluminum backdoor watching a thunderstorm, when lightning must have hit the door, because suddenly all we could see was an intense flash of blue light and then heard and felt a loud peal of thunder. Ironically, we were probably almost struck by lightening, but if my mom had let me stay home alone, I would have spent the evening safely sitting on my bed listening to music or reading.

Well, hybrid and electric cars actually have a traditional 12V system, and also a high voltage system for the drivetrain and A/C compressor.
But regardless, even if this was a completely old school car with minimal electronics it'd likely have components that are flat out welded together from that level of current.
