Yeah it’s tragic. Hope everyone here who doesn’t know better, that most people who die from lightening strikes die because they sought shelter under a tree. Happens a lot to golfers because that is what is handy. But it’s the worse place to seek shelter. It goes through the tree and strikes things around the tree as it exits the tree.
I have been hit by lightning 3 times, never under a tree. Sometimes you are just caught and you get zapped.
How many times were these folks just fine sheltering under a tree in their 80+ year lifetime?
When it is your time, it is your time.
