NWS Lightning Safety Medical Information.
A while back during one of the local Art gallery crawls in Omaha, I was chatting up a local personality who was most anxious to get out of the electrically charged night. His parting words to me as he ducked into Darios’s Bistro were, “I was struck by lightning already, so thunderstorms make me nervous”.
Ever since, I’ve been curious about his story and about lightning strikes. From what I’ve learned, he is the 1/10,000 that will be hit by lightning in their lifetime and it seems he has one of the four things needed for a good recovery…a sense of humor.
