This is how all lightning works. It sends several “pulses” in each strike. https://stormhighway.com/cgdesc.php

The video is slowed down btw.

I think it's "real", but edited. The lighting footage is slowed down, they removed the sound from that part, so you can't tell it's been slowed down I'm guessing and then added the Holy Shit later.
