but NM has the highest per capita strikes.
Just thought I'd throw that in.
Many people survive them if they get really prompt treatment. It all depends on how big a hit the heart took and where the internal burns are.

But understand the dangers of lightening, having grown up in FL.

About a million to one shot.

IIRC his hair was singed but he was otherwise alright. I felt very well electrified my hair stood up a bit which was enough for me. Mom and dad made a fuss but after a while all we wanted to do was go back to playing.

She never won the lottery.
