‘Roy Cleveland Sullivan 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”.’

Supposedly he was even hit while sitting inside his house.

There’s a lightning documentary, maybe ~20 years old, that mentions a woman that got zapped three times. I don’t remember if it mentioned Roy Cleveland. I think I’d remember 7 over 3.

Any way, the first time was as a kid running inside past the washing machine and the lightning strike outside traveled through the pipes to zap her.

After the third time, she moved from lightning-rich Florida to lightning-poor San Francisco.

My brother was out clearing leaves off a drain (all PVC) in front of our back door, standing in water when lightning struck next door. He got tingled.
