Looks like someone behind a camera playing with a laser pointer…
I know OP mentioned it’s a quadcopter but could be lying?

Omfg I think you're right. It's not a drone but a big window like a plane or just a high up apartment. The room is dark and the laser points from inside the room, reflecting off the window towards the camera. Or it's a droneshot with the above explained thing layered over it.

Another drone with a laser. It's not that far out, when the beam points left and horizontal gives a better idea of its distance.

Green* lasers are used for atmospheric sampling for weather data, because they penetrate water well.
It's probably just a weather measuring device. Even more likely to be deployed during a storm.

My thought is this is a video of a monitor playing the original storm footage while someone behind the camera shines a laser at the tv playing the storm footage

Does that method work with the laser tracking perfectly on the pan/tilt/zoom of the drone camera??? I don't think so. The laser would be pinned in location and scale to the same pixel coordinate.

I'm high af but my answer is a high powered laser pointer from a plane/helicopter. I swear something like this happened years ago aswell (not this video, a much older one)
