How about surviving 6 strikes:
“1. 1942: Sullivan was hit for the first time when he was in a fire lookout tower. The lightning bolt struck him in the leg and he lost a nail on his big toe.
2. 1969: The second bolt hit him in his truck when he was driving on a mountain road. It knocked him unconscious and burned his eyebrows.
3. 1970: The third strike burned his left shoulder while in his front yard.
4. 1972: The next hit happened in a ranger station. The strike set his hair on fire. After that, he began to carry a pitcher of water with him.
5. August 7, 1973: A lightning bolt hit Sullivan on the head, blasted him out of his car, and again set his hair on fire.
6. June 5, 1974: Sullivan was struck by the sixth bolt in a campground, injuring his ankle. It was reported that he saw a cloud, thought that it was following him, tried to run away, but was still struck.
7. June 25, 1977: The seventh and final lightning bolt hit him when he was fishing. Sullivan was hospitalized for burns on his chest and stomach.

“People survive lightning strikes all the time.”

Yes, but they’re quite the “same”, after all those brain neurons get scrambled, to whatever degree.

Yeah the physical effects of it are varied for sure.

On the military base I worked on for 31 years two people were killed by lightning several years apart in the same parking lot....talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Rumor was there was an old railroad track that ran under that particular parking lot. That would explain it but it was never substantiated to my knowledge.

That was Lee Trevino's famous quip. I would have quoted it if you hadn't.

My friend gave up on his 1-iron and gave it to me. It proved to be excellent for adding ballast to my golf bag....

Wasn’t he the same guy who kept making fun of the way Thor always fell for Loki’s tricks?

Not saying it’s fake, but there does appear to be a slight edit after he is struck.

I attribute that to a power surge or flicker that caused the computer/monitor to stutter momentarily..............

That’s the Guinness World Record. Six or seven times.

Another guy from South Carolina says he survived 11 strikes, but not as well documented.
