A Kansas family had a lucky escape when their car was struck by lightning this week.
Footage taken from behind the car captured the moment the vehicle carrying four people was struck by a bolt during a storm.
Luckily the passengers escaped unscathed.
It comes as a heatwave sweeps the US, with record breaking temperatures hitting the northern west coast.
In Oregon's state capital Salem, temperatures reached 47.2C, the hottest since record-keeping began in the 1890s.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport hit a high of 41.1C, breaking the record set a day earlier.
