NIAGARA COUNTY, NY -- A man from New York is recovering after being struck by lightning while pumping gas.

The terrifying incident was captured by the gas station's security cameras.

44-year old William Hall was pumping gas in Niagara County, New York last Wednesday when he was struck by the lightning bolt.

The security footage shows Hall filling up his truck when an orange flash of light knocks him to the ground.

Hall says he is still a little fuzzy about what happened, but he says he feels great and hasn't had any ill effects from the hit.
