Fox10 Phoenix reporter Matt Rodewald almost got the shock of his life (literally) while doing a live report from outdoors in the Phoenix area during a thunder storm.

Insert joke about the mainstream media and pants on fire here.

But seriously, Rodewald seems like a total pro. He does the obligatory “Oh sh*t!” duck and cover and then immediately returns to his mark for his shot.

Now that’s dedication. Nicely done, Rodewald! Glad you lived to tell the tale.
