‘I suddenly lost consciousness. It felt so hot in my body. I’m currently resting to recover,’ said the ref, identified as 24-year-old Charlie Panes.
‘I’m relieved that I am alive as the lightning could have killed me or anyone else. As soon as I’m better, I will carry on with my refereeing duty. I will finish this game.’

That’s my buddy Erick
Bro got a origin story 💀
IS HE OK?!
If you say so..
fake news
One too many bad calls.
I dont see it
Did he survive?
Did he gain the power to make fair calls in sports??
Oh, no! Lightening is so unpredictable. Hope he's ok.
🤔I wonder if the ref now has super powers 🤔.
My uncle died from lightning shock…unfortunately,his body burnt in just seconds ,it was scary appearance😱after!
It says right in the description: The ref received medical attention, is in stable condition and is expected to have a full recovery, he's lucky that's for sure!!
For those who are wondering if he’s okay, Yes, he is okay. According to the local news, he passed out from the lightning splash but was immediately brought to the hospital. When the lightning struck, it hit the tree then splashed to the nearest person which happens to be him.
Hope he will be ok
I don’t understand ppl making jokes. Do you have any idea what happens to a person when they’re struck? Do you know what his recovery may be like? Do you know how it may affect the rest of his life?
Was shocking at first… Now it's under current events. 😳
I'm so glad that his ok I was to a long time ago and it didn't feel good and now today I'm afraid of lighting😪😢😥
Pray he ok
Is he okay.
What luck not only is he going to survive the lightning strike, but somebody got it on camera.
You have that power. 🔥
It's called football, love. Try to keep up.
They were supposed to stop playing any outside field games when there is lightning! Unless they were in the process of stopping? I hope Ref is ok! 😔🙏
Nah this looked like Zeus himself sent that down and it was personal
That looked like a photon torpedo.💫
Glad he lived to tell about it!
Did he die?
That's shocking. He survived because God has a purpose in his life.
That's why no one should be playing during a storm
Ay nako! That hurts!
That's positive charges from storms
The normal one are negative charges
The negative charges go down
The positive charges are orange and go to far places
I thing the storm was just a few miles awway
That's science
