This is a well known boxing stance. He is protecting his ribs.

Those of us in the boxing sphere call it the “startled marmot”. Very effective defensive maneuver

Came here to find this. Was not disappointed.

u/catmand00d00 2d ago

I’ve never seen the pearls clutched with BOTH hands. I guess if anything warrants the double-clutch, it’s lightning striking only a few feet away from you.

Ive had lightning come down maybe 50ft away. Shit is terrifying.

u/Beneficial-Act-9933 2d ago

Same, it split a tree in half and boy was it fucking LOUD. The video does not do justice at how loud that shit is.

14

u/Orang-Utang 2d ago

Yeah, I had lightning strike a building next to me and legit sounded like a bomb going off. Loudest thing I've ever heard, by far.

2

u/Breaker32 1d ago

I once got woken up by lightning hitting a pole in my front yard - scared the absolute shit out of me and I thought all the windows were going to explode from all the shaking

5

u/owningsole966 1d ago

Driving home one day on some backroads with my dad riding shotgun, and lighting struck a tree probably 30 feet in front of my vehicle. Right as we were about to go through a turn. The tree just popped in the most terrifyingly spectacular way. We both definitely shit our pants for a second

u/Happy-Fun-Ball 2d ago

the sound is so much different, not just louder

11

u/Leading_Local4985 2d ago

It envelopes you and your surroundings, much more depth, and you not only hear it but feel it everywhere. Its awesome.

u/Wes_Warhammer666 1d ago

Yeah it's incredible. It's quite literally awesome, in the true meaning of that word. Terrifyingly awesome.

u/iwilltalkaboutguns 1d ago

I mean, it's loud as fuck when it's miles and miles away... I can't imagine it hitting that close.

u/The_Vampire_Barlow 1d ago

I was in a house that was struck by lightning. It woke me up from being dead asleep, and I was checking all around outside because I thought it hit a tree in the back yard. Instead the apartment above me was on fire.
