“It was about 100 feet from my yard,” Krill told Good Morning America. “I was out there videoing it. My puppy was out there. She usually doesn’t flinch too much at storms. She’s used to it. And then, boom, the lighting struck and you could obviously hear my reaction.”

OK, what you see in the video isn’t actually a fireball. The lightning struck lighting used to illuminate trees in her neighbors yard, which caused the explosion of electrical sparks.
