Crazy, but he didn't film the lightning. He filmed the flash and flying debris, but the lightning was off screen.

Damn, those dudes were awfully calm after that.

There was a downpipe just there, perhaps it followed it?

He should get 2 for flinching.

The coolest part is that it looks like he has a schwenker on his porch.

Everything is fine until the alien walker tunnels up.
