That's some bad luck. I always wondered what it looked like if someone got struck by lightening. Did you see that burnt mark it left behind Shocked

It melted or burned the pavement underneath him. The odds are kind of high for him getting struck twice. There had to have been a perfect convergence of things conducting the charge to that area and him. The car the trees around him. Usually people get struck in relatively open spaces i.e. golf courses, very strange indeed occurance indeed. You could write a good case study paper on this event, because you have a lot of the detail.

Yeah, I agree. That was totally strange. I would be a little freaked out after that. As in: extreme paranoia of overcast days.

I was wondering if it was fake as well.

If not, that's one major headache.

The lead up makes me think it's fake. It's like they made a point of building up to it. But who knows..

Stranger things have happened:

Sort of odd no one walked by while he was being struck/getting up. and why didn't the lightning hit the cars that were taller than him? And why wasn't he freaking out, or hiding under the trees? But I've heard that people who get struck often get struck more than once. Like the odds are higher to be struck again than to be struck the first time.
