Default YouTube close lightning roundup

Every once in a while I go on a Youtube search for new or obscure interesting lightning videos. Many aren't tagged with proper keywords, and therefore don't get 'discovered' without a deeper search. Here are some from my most recent 'deep search'. There are quite a few new ones popping up. I've never seen these before, so I'd assume most here haven't either.

I can imagine we'll only see more of these with the increased proliferation of cameras around the world.

Tree hit with flashover on nearby power lines:

Very close hit on parking lot light pole - listen for distinct thunder blasts from each return stroke.
