A lightning strike from a fast-developing storm in Houston yesterday afternoon killed two people at La Escondida Soccer Park located in North Houston.
At the time, it was nothing to laugh at, but as you look back at the video (and realize no one got hurt or worse), it's funny to see grown men and professional baseball players scrambling for the dugout and even going so far as hitting the dirt when this lightning strike hits in the immediate vicinity.
