I have read many stories over the years about people getting struck by lightning and surviving. Those few and their family members all said that those individuals survived but were never the ‘same’ again. The high voltage or current, take your pick, because no one knows the answer, does something to the brain.

The high voltage or current, take your pick, because no one knows the answer...

Yes, they do. Voltage pushes current. It is the current that delivers the punch. At a given resistance, a higher voltage pushes more current.

Cooks it.

In the early '90s I was walking along Ocean Drive in South Beach, Miami. It was sunny mid-afternoon, and the deep-blue sky was perfectly clear, with not a hint of a cloud anywhere. Suddenly, there was an almighty crack and flash on the beach about one-hundred yards away, and I saw a young man slumped over on his blanket. He was dead, as I later found out when the ambulance rolled onto the sand. It was literally a bolt from the blue. Sometime later, a thunderstorm came in from over the horizon, which was apparently the source of the lightning.

Life is so uncertain.
