Female Weather Presenter “Struck By Lightning” During Live Broadcast (Photos/Video)

An Irish weather presenter appeared to be struck by lightning during a live broadcast in a bizarre Halloween prank. Caitlin Nic Aoidh was presenting the weather forecast on Irish language channel TG4 when she screamed after appearing to be hit by a lightning bolt on Monday night. The forecaster suddenly vanished into thin air, leaving a puff of smoke behind.

The channel then dramatically cut away from the broadcast.

Viewers took to Twitter to applaud the elaborate prank, while others were left slightly confused.
