Rain of sparks fell on passers-by during a thunderstorm in St. Petersburg

A rain of sparks fell on passers-by during a severe thunderstorm in St. Petersburg on May 20. Lightning struck a metal structure on the roof of a building near which there were people.

The footage shows two people walking towards each other near the building at the intersection of Veterans Avenue and Soldier Korzun Street. At this point, large sparks begin to fall from above, which fall dangerously close to passers-by. Frightened people try to dodge the unusual rain.

The incident occurred at the intersection of Soldata Korzun Street and prosp. Veterans. Striking the metal structure on the roof of the house, the lightning struck an impressive shower of sparks. He doused the passers-by of St. Petersburg with such rain that it was just right to hide in the nearest entrance instead of the front door, tripping over curbs instead of curbs.

Fortunately, no one was harmed by this trick of nature.
