I had a feeling it was fake bc the guy in the background didn't react at all. But who knows, I could be wrong too. Just gave me the same feeling.

I think you are right to be skeptical, especially considering their proximity to a seemingly tall building, but no, it's real.

Path of lowest resistance does not need to be the shortest path

[-] Liz@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago

That's true, though lighting strikes kinda-sorta create their own path of least resistance. They're complicated, and I still consider it slightly unlucky given the proximity of the building.

Its definitely unlucky and unlikely!
