A farmer in Paragould, Ark., got quite a scare when lightning struck nearby during a storm on Wednesday morning.
Video from a doorbell camera shows the moment Clay Smith got startled by a bolt of lightning, followed by loud thunder.
Smith tweeted the video of the near-miss adding: "Thought it was a good time to spray those mosquitos." He later tweeted another video of the huge crack the lightning strike left on a tree.
Thunderstorms moved over east and northeast Arkansas and into Tennessee on Wednesday. The National Weather Service in Memphis issued a severe tornado warning for the Paragould area for part of the evening on that same day.
