LONDON -- Lightning -- particularly the forked, scary kind -- isn't all that common in Britain.

It's sort of hard to see what's going on at first, but if you re-watch the clip it looks as though a bolt of lightning hits the tree by one of the parked cars in the distance.
Luckily, nothing was damaged and no-one was hurt.
