Man Struck by Lightning— and Survives

A man was struck by lightning in California on Saturday—and survived. He was hit while helping set up tents for a Boy Scout outing, according to police. The 49-year-old, who police are choosing not to identify, was standing by a tree in Industry, Calif., when he was struck; no children were nearby. The man was up and walking around when police arrived, though he was treated later at a hospital for a wound where the lightning bolt apparently exited his body. (More lightning strike stories.)
