| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The video uploaded is dash cam footage from our Tesla and only shows a portion of the event. After the fireball leaves the camera, it continued on and I feel lucky to have witnessed this with my own eyes, as it was nothing short of amazing. The video does not do it justice, but I am happy to have captured it for others to replay. |
