Staying away from lightning during a thunderstorm

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss

It's kind of amazing that anyone could survive a lightning strike, but many people do every year. It's just as odd that lightning is the second-leading cause of death in the U.S. when it comes to weather-related fatalities.

Meteorologists like to say that lightning is a constant threat from spring until fall, but the prevalence of thunderstorms is usually what makes people aware of lightning. How about, though, being struck twice by lightning and living through both strikes?

Although a cracked jaw, kidney damage and a feeling of being "on fire," some folks live through what I can only imagine as a nightmare scenario of having thousands of volts coursing through your body. Where do you go when you see or hear lightning outside?
