You Think YOU'RE Having a Bad Day?!

There is really nothing funny about this, but OH MY GOODNESS ~ you think YOU'RE having a bad day?! After watching this video several times to see what I might be missing, my thoughts turned to . . . I sure hope that they find out who this guy is and find out what happened to him. The affects of lightning on the body can obviously be severe (and often fatal), so his strength, to me, is astonishing. Can you IMAGINE the conversation when he got home?! "Yeah, sure you did, honey. And just how much have you had to drink???" Be sure to watch the whole thing.

Unfathomable! But it didn't strike in the same place, Kristine, it just struck the same object :) And if you didn't have a solid grounding in God, you MIGHT think He was mad at you :)

I'd guess that any day that's not happening to you is a good one. Maybe he's an early candidate for the 'rapture' that predictors have consistently gotten wrong.

And will continue to get wrong ("No one knows the hour or day . . ."). I keep wondering, Bob, if this guy is 'normal' now, and if it was just charged up adrenaline that helped him to get back up.

Wow! I sincerely hope that guy sought medical help! Amazing that he was struck twice and survived! I wonder what so attracted the lightening to him and what ever happened to that adage that lightening never strikes twice in the same place :)? (I guess, technically it was a little different).

Hey, VB, good to see you. My sister has an expression, "If you're meant to be shot, you won't be hung." God obviously has something more for this guy to be doing, because, OMG, not many people could have survived that! :)

Right, Brenda, technically it was in a different place. But that was one of the first things that I thought of ~ did this guy have pockets full of coins or something? I doubt seriously if he had a clue what his name was after this!

Mimi, they were definitely having a bad day --- twice in a short period of time, and living to tell about it! AMAZING!

It sure would be interesting to see "the rest of the story," wouldn't it, Joan?

OMG... Mimi, that was disturbing and fascinating at the same time. What are the chances?

I don't know, KS, I can't imagine there ARE chances :) . . . and this may sound awful, but the burned spots on the ground fascinated me . . . was it the rubber from his shoes? It really was fascinating! (P.S. Hello, my friend, hope your day is as blessed as this young man's :) )

That is unbelievable! You see people that never bounce back from getting hit once, but this guy took two hits and still kept walking. Remarkable!

Rebekah - do you suppose he was conscious?

David ~ RIGHT? And what are the chances of getting it on VIDEO?

Mimi,

Wow.. I would have never thought this would have been possible to be struck twice and still get up and walk at all. I don't think I will ever have room to talk about having a bad day ever again. I sure hope he is alright... what are the odds???

Can you even imagine, Linda? I sure wish Oprah or Ellen or SOMEONE would track this guy down. Sure would like to know how he is!

Mimi- you've got to be kidding me! Someone must have tried to track down who he is to find out how he's doing. Never heard of such a thing!

Kathy ~ I keep hoping that someone will find him. I wonder often if he is "normal" now. Gotta think that he will have lifelong problems. But without seeing this video, do you suppose he has any idea what hit him?

Michael ~ Have you ever heard of such a thing before? I couldn't have imagined it could happen, much less that we would see it.
