Excerpt from
THE HANDBOOK FOR LIGHTNING STRIKE SURVIVORS

“I’ve worked outdoors my whole life and I’ve never been struck, and then one day, the sky so blue, not a cloud anywhere, and my wife, Darlene, brings me a glass of water. The lightning hits her. I saw it. It entered through her back and out her left heel. She survived, but she can hardly remember my name, and we’ve been married twenty-four years. She walks with a limp, and sometimes calls me by another man’s name. The other thing is, she’s got this awful scar on her back where the lightning entered, and we know when it’s going to storm now because her back will start to hurt real bad and she’ll take to her bed.

I am glad Darlene survived. I only wish that I was the one who got struck.”

Account by Patrick Fitzgerald, rancher
