Colorado resident Todd Jones captured video of a lightning bolt striking a tree in the front yard of a neighbor’s house in Ouray on July 10.

Jones told Storyful the bolt struck the treetop and arced straight down the trunk, sending parts of the tree flying into the air. The video shows a woman leaving her home moments before the lightning hit. Credit: Todd Jones via Storyful
