In 2016, over 300 wild reindeer were killed by a single lightning strike on the Hardangervidda plateau in Norway. The herd had gathered closely together during a storm, making them vulnerable to the powerful strike. A haunting reminder of nature’s raw and unpredictable force.

I have mentioned similar events before but the scale of this is impressive.
Also interesting, if not staged. 300 comments on how it could have have happened.
