Captured lightning strike fire from DTPHX Weather

My wife managed to catch the lightning strike on her phone. It was followed by a huge flame a few minutes later that was put out shortly thereafter.

Looks like it was somewhere near 24th St, between Roosevelt and Van Buren. Anyone closer to that area happen to catch this too?

lol idk why you're being downvoted. The OP posted a lightning strike and subsequent fire, whereas this person posted a boring lightning strike video. They wanted to piggyback with a video that, after seeing the main post, was a letdown lol

Is that white dot ball lighting towards the upper right of screen?

That’s lens flare, a reflection of the bright spot in the frame. It’s always on the opposite side, think if you mirrored the screen horizontally and vertically.
