Glad he survived. I wonder what became of the dogs.
OK the terrified dogs were found and rescued.
“as he remained motionless on the cement”
CONCRETE !!!
Wow, is he going to be sore... stopped heart, ruptured muscle tissue, broken ribs and other bones, the works. Sore but fortunate a vet tech saw him go down and was able to give CPR
Well, according to the crooked, wagging-finger, and creaky-voiced warnings my (now-deceased) ninety-some-odd year-old British grandmother used to give us kids way back when, I guess that man must have blasphemed. :P
(as that was what she told us G-d would do to us).
Zot!
A border collie would have stayed around to give CPR
A friend of ours was hit as she was entering her front doorway. She’s had permanent side effects. One being ringing in the ears and hearing stuff that she shouldn’t be able to hear. Which she said as VERY annoying and tiresome.
Dang. That looked painful.
Had a strike about 50 or so yards in front of me once while hunting. Mid afternoon, hardly anything in the sky above. I don’t recall a flash, just a mesquite tree exploding in front of me. My ears took the brunt of it.
Unlucky to have been hit and lucky to have someone there to save his life.
Prayers for his recovery.
"Roy Cleveland Sullivan (February 7, 1912 – September 28, 1983) was a United States park ranger in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. Between 1942 and 1977, Sullivan was hit by lightning on seven different occasions and survived all of them.
For this reason, he gained a nickname "Human Lightning Conductor" and "Human Lightning Rod". Sullivan is recognized by Guinness World Records as the person struck by lightning more recorded times than any other human being.[3]
On the morning of September 28, 1983, Sullivan died at the age of 71 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head." wiki
Why can’t God do this to deserving people within 100 yards of capital hill on a regular basis?
