Thunderstorms can be completely fascinating, but an Arvada, Colo man received more than his fair share of fascination as a lighting bolt struck right next to him as he was capturing video of the storm.

KMGH TV in Denver reports Chad Greenlees was outside his house shooting video of the storm when a bolt of lightning struck extremely close. It was so close it knocked him down and temporarily paralyzed him. He seems to be fine, but is lucky and blessed to be alive.

What did the man say when he was knocked down by lightning? All Chad could say was "uhhhhhh!"
