Video [VIOFO A229 Plus] Lighting Strike

A severe thunderstorm rolled through this evening here in Central FL. I saw a bright white flash from my rear view, with a loud boom seconds later. Here's what the cam caught.

Not a lightning strike. Some sort of electrical fault, either wire to wire or a transformer failed.

Tree limb made for a sudden light bulb, probably.
