Lightning strikes really close to fisherman

No really, can I have this person's luck?

This close of a call could scare the living daylights (or, um, nightlights?) out of someone.

Tesla Weather posted this breathtaking video of a lightning storm in Barcelona, and you have to do a double-take to realize just how incredible it is. On the right side of the screen, near the end of the sand, sits a very brave (or very unwise) fisherman. The shot then plays in slow motion so you can see it clearly.

The weather blogger estimates that the strike was as little as half a football field away from the storm-goer. Guess now would be a good time for this person to play the lottery.
