The Security Department of Abu Dhabi Police released this picture of lightning in Al Ain.

A farm worker of an Asian nationality died yesterday evening in Al Ain, after he was hit by a bolt of lightning.

Colonel Mohammed Ibrahim Al Ameri, Director, Emergency Management and Public Safety, Abu Dhabi Police, said that ambulances and patrol cars moved to the site of the incident, where paramedics discovered that the person was already dead.

The lightning also caused the death of six camels that the deceased was herding.

Colonel Al Ameri advised the public to follow weather forecasts and weather alerts. He said that in the event of a thunderstorm, one should avoid being in the open.

Ameri added that avoid standing near telephone poles or power pylons and urged owners of farms to raise safety awareness among workers.

The herder must have been taking the camels to what ever kind of Bachelor Party the Muslims have.
