Local Photojournalist Captures Striking Moment During Friday’s Storms.

As severe thunderstorms rolled across Fort Worth on Friday night, local photojournalist Michael Beard captured a dramatic lightning strike near Hulen Street and Interstate 30 that briefly knocked out power in the area.

The video, featuring a slow-motion replay, shows the exact moment the lightning bolt hit, lighting up the sky as the storm intensified across the city. The flash caused a temporary power outage for nearby homes and businesses, which was quickly restored.

Beard’s footage offers a rare, close-up look at the power of Texas weather—an unforgettable snapshot of a stormy night that kept residents across Benbrook and Fort Worth on alert.
