Find that fireball! Verifying social media content, by @malachybrowne

Storyful :: A woman is filming a thunderstorm when lightning strikes a tree metres from the camera. A fireball explodes, the woman jumps back, shouting “Oh shit!”. Video gold, a segment any local news network would love to broadcast. Initially, we had suspicions. Is this video a set-up? Or an old clip copied from elsewhere and reposted as new?

Full of details, video, etc. An experience report by Malachy Browne, blog.storyful.com
