    For some reason, it reminded me of Back to the Future.



    Glad he is okay.

    Probably exactly what it was (static discharge) a big bolt typically kills you instantly -- definitely would have got the dogs as well.

    Why? I'm sending good vibes to the guy struck by the lightning, the good samaritans that showed up to help, the doctors.. why negative rep? Are you that crazy?

    What in the world did you read into my post that made you think I was evil?

    Lol. Yeah, I saw this yesterday and the video said they found the dogs nearby in a wooded area or something, but they were laughing because "man's best friends" took off running and didn't even stop to see if their owner was ok. :D

    In the video I saw, they said his shoes were blown off, his socks were charred and also apparently blown off his feet, his clothes were charred, and the lightning left a hole in the ground.

    Didn’t Carol Dawson get struck by lightning twice? Seem to remember that.

    Why couldn't you see the bolt? I only saw a flash near his feet.

    I've read 9 out of every 10 people who are struck live. That seems fckin nuts.
