PENSACOLA, Fla. - A seemingly endless lightning show was visible over Florida skies last week – and an airline passenger caught it all on camera. 

From an airplane window, Michael Robertson of Indiana shared a video on social media showcasing an "insane" lightning show visible as he was flying over Pensacola. During the 45-second-long video, the lightning doesn't come to a stop amid storms in the region Thursday. 

He said it was "one of the most incredible things" he's ever seen.
