While I agree he is delusional about the lightening strike (it would have been obvious to others from the smell and the smoke),things like this DO happen. I personally know of a guy who is still alive after taking a hit a 440,000 volt power line,and it blew a 8 inch laced boot right off his foot. It also stopped his heart and knocked him out,but a friend of mine gave him CPR and brought him back. He was back at work the next day. It's even hard to believe it would be possible to remove the boot without untying it,never mind getting hit by that much current and surviving. None the less it happened.
BTW,there is supposed to be a park ranger somewhere in the Smokies who has been hit by lightening 3 or 4 times.
What's his name.....Lucky?
I watched an interview with him once. I think he has been struck at least twice the number of times you cited. I remember that he said that once lightning actually came through the window and hit him. He added that when a thunderstorm is in the area that his family makes him sit alone in a chair in the middle of an interior room in the house.
I think the Admin Moderator got this one right. Rational discourse did not seem to be this guy's strong suit. We all stray from the path now and then but unfounded racist and sexist posts aren't useful to the general exchange of opinions and comments.
