This Is What Happens When Mother Nature Photobombs Your Selfie


While everyone was freaking out over the Queen of England’s selfie moment at the Commonwealth Games this week, good ol’ Mother Nature was off scaring the sh*t out of this unsuspecting couple.

The Youtube video, uploaded by Luis Fukutake, shows the poor guy and his lady friend enjoying a swim at a lagoon in Mexico in the middle of what looks to be a pretty nasty storm. Apparently no one told the two that swimming while there’s lightning outside isn’t the brightest idea, and after posing for a waterlogged selfie, the couple got photobombed by a pretty explosive lightning strike.

I’m not sure what’s better, the fact that the two ran to the water for safety after the bolt hit or the slow-mo second go-around of the clip, but the moral of the story is this: Mother Nature is a total b*tch and a bit of a drama queen. Lesson learned.  Pay more attention to her next time.
