Man Survives Lightning Strike to Ear {Asylum}

Aug 6th 2009 1:23AM When something unintentional or out of control happens, it is call an ACCIDENT. Yes, there are certain times we can try to avoid the possibility of an accident but there are no certainties especially when dealing with mother nature. I agree, cut the man some slack and be grateful he lives to tell us about it and warn others of his experience. I saw my brother struck by heat lightening when I was five years old in Arizona, no way to know it was coming but Thank our Lord we all lived to talk about it 47 years later. My brother does not remember getting burned and hitting the pavement like a log, but we four sisters do who witnessed it. I to this day have a nervous respect when there is lightening present. My brother on the other hand becomes excited and energized by it, no fear at all. A month ago I was upstate NY with friends watching a huge theatre production outside. The skies were perfectly clear when we arrived at the site, halfway through they had to cancel it as a very fierce storm hit, my group ran for cover under a building overhang but we were horrified to see people standing under trees. Panic and fear can make people do things they otherwise would know better to do. Whether it's not knowing the danger, or fear of being out in the open, mother nature can strike at any time and attack those not looking for trouble. Let's just try to make the best decisions daily and stop these horrific tv shows and videos that tempt danger and put ourselves at risk. WHAT ARE WE TEACHING OUR YOUNG ONES WITH THERE?????
God Bless.....
