Excerpt from
THE HANDBOOK FOR LIGHTNING STRIKE
SURVIVORS
Geography plays a big role in lightning strike frequency. Although some contend that those struck are more likely to be struck again, scientists argue that it’s not because the individual person attracts the lightning; it’s because the geo graphical area is more prone to strikes.
After reading multiple accounts of repeat victims, I disagree with the scientists. It doesn’t make sense that one person should get struck twelve times just because he lives at a high altitude prone to thunderstorms. Not everyone who lives in that geo graphical area has been struck twelve times. I don’t like to disagree with experts, but on this point, I must, and I’m sure that if you’ve been struck more than once, you agree with me.
