Austin, Texas-based Alinity was live-streaming outside on her balcony during one of these storms when a lightning strike hit a nearby cell phone tower — leaving her horrified.
“Omg, it hit the tower,” she said after running inside. “Holy f*cking shit. Did you guys see that? I saw it. It was right next to me.”

“Don’t go outside wtf,” one user replied.
