(Web Desk) - Distracted high schoolers may often find themselves staring out the window, but this time there was something to see.
Underclassmen in Wisconsin were preparing to take a standardized test when lightning suddenly struck a pine tree outside their high school building on Thursday.
The flames scorched and shattered the evergreen outside Wautoma High School on impact, incredible video footage shows. No one was injured and the school was not damaged, Principal Jennifer Johnson said.

We all know lighting never strikes the same place twice.
Although very few people can say that they have ever seen lightning even strike once.
Sure we can look up at the sky during a classic KZN thunderstorm and see the flashes of white across the sky, but it s never an up-close and personal thing. You only see it from quite a distance. As you should!
Please do not let this next video motivate you to go searching for trouble while there s a storm raging on. Stay indoors and don t do anything that would make people question your intelligence.

Watch Lightning Destroy Tree Outside Wisconsin School In Seconds
It s nearly storm season in Texoma so this video couldn t have come at a better time.
Security video recently caught a pine tree outside Wautoma High School in Wisconsin being destroyed in seconds as it is struck by a bolt of lightning. The students were all inside getting ready to take their ACT tests. I m sure it didn t distract them at all.
As you can see, it had been raining that day when suddenly a bolt of lighting struck the tree. Fortunately for the rest of us the school s security camera was pointed directly at it. One second it s there, the next second it s gone. The sound of the strike must have been incredible. Lightning took out the power transformer on the electric line outside our house during dinner once when I was a kid and everyone in the room jumped a foot off their chair when it struck.
