A clip showing a US Marine standing sentry outside the White House - then going in right after a lightning strike - has gone viral, with people applauding the "formal" yet funny way he decided he wasn't going to hang around to see if it would strike twice.
The short clip was shared by C-SPAN's Jeremy Art yesterday and has since been viewed more than six million times.
It shows the Marine sentry getting a fright from the lightning strike, then deciding to head inside. However, rather than bolt inside like many of us would, he kept the formalities when opening the door to go in for shelter.
One Twitter user described the act as "the most professional 'nope, I'm out' the world will ever see".
