Since being shared on Friday, the clip has amassed more than 16,000 views on Twitter. Internet users poked fun at the way she was left terrified and yet grabbed the package. A user commented, “She still went back for that last package.” Another user commented, “She’s BAREFOOT in water too.” A third user wrote, “Sorry to say it but it was quite funny. I guarantee this will end up in one of those funny fail videos or close lightning videos. Glad you are safe!”

In December 2021, a 35-year-old man in Indonesia was struck by lightning. However, he managed to emerge largely unscathed. The man sustained burns and was saved after his colleagues who stood nearby rushed to save him after the lightning struck his umbrella.
