A man from Bišća was filming the storm with a camera, and at one point, a meter away from him, lightning struck and “blew him away”.
Ismet Alijagić Ćićmo will celebrate June 6 as his second birthday after his in the yard of a house in the center of Bihać had an unprecedented experience. During the strong storm that engulfed the city of Alijagić yesterday, it experienced a lightning strike, however, he passed without injury, and plans to permanently mark the impact site where minor damage is visible.
Alijagić is was in the garden when lightning struck. “I was watching a very stormy storm and accidentally started filming how the heavy rain decorated the flowers. I had no idea what was going to happen. My kerusha is however, she showed anxiety and fear. She was trembling and didn’t move away from me“, says Alijagić.
By chance, he recorded a lightning strike that hit a parasol in the garden only a meter and a half from where Alijagić was. “Like Tyson punched me. I saw a flash and felt a strong impact that “blow” me into the interior of the fountain. For a second I thought he hit my phone and knocked it out of my hands. I lay there for about a minute, then headed towards my mobile with the intention of turning it off because I was expecting another shock. The shock passed in a few minutes, so I took pictures of the consequences. There was no fear because I was a member of the special police and I was wounded three times, but this is certainly something that cannot be forgotten,” adds Alijagić.
Comments on social networks are only becoming rarer. Many watch the video and cannot believe how close Alijagić was to death. “Record your almost death! Uh”, Alijagić wrote.
