As previously pointed out in this thread, Cato lists 357 total incidents since 1985. That is hardly an epidemic.

In that same time period, more than 2000 people were killed by lightning in the United States.

Keep in mind the 357 number represents the total number of "incidents" documented by Cato. Not deaths mind you, but a very broad reading of "incidents."

Could the lightning deaths of been prevented?

Acceptable losses right?
