A man was struck by lightning just seconds after joking about getting hit.

Aumauinuuese Puni from Hawaii was filming himself on a roof, umbrella in hand during a rainstorm when he made a comment that would prove frighteningly accurate.

Speaking to the camera during a Facebook Live stream, he quipped: ''Umbrella on the rooftop. I'll probably get stuck by lightning.''

The lightning strike then happened, which can be seen on his footage.

Puni emerged from the incident unscathed, but admitted his near death experience hasn't actually sunk in yet.

He told KITV4: ''All of a sudden, I just got dropped. I felt my hands just tighten up and my head burning and that was it.''

Puni added: ''Knock on wood, I'm still kicking, I'm still alive.''
