The video shows a series of frames capturing a lightning strike in a stormy sky. The sky is a deep purple color, and the lightning is bright white, creating a stark contrast. The lightning appears to be striking down from the top of the frame towards the bottom, where a dark horizon line is visible. The lightning bolt is jagged and branching, with multiple forks extending from the main stem. The video captures the lightning in various stages of its strike, from the initial flash to the full extension of the bolt.
