Religious Book Seller Struck By Lightning

Click here for the full story
A man making a trip from Puerto Rico to South Florida to raise money for his religious education remains hospitalized Monday after he was struck down by a bolt of lightning which flew from clear blue sky on Sunday. He was selling religious materials when he was hit.

I rarely even see regular lightning in San Diego, so the idea that there is a special kind that can just randomly shitfuck you is kinda scary.

    The Flash got his powers with the help of lightening, after all

    CBS4 Meteorologist Jeff Berardelli said 'dry lightning', which can strike even when the sky is clear, can be very dangerous because victims are not expecting it and don't prepare as they might with a storm threatening.

    What the fuck are you supposed to do to prepare for being hit by lightning? Clench your buttocks?

    Crouch low to the ground and minimilize the amount of surface area with which your feet touch the ground.

    You can tell if you are about to get struck if the hair on your body begins to stand on end, as if surrounded by static electricity.

    Do not worry.

    If i am ever about to be struck by lighting, I will look at the nearest person straight in the eye.

    And then look up, hand outstretched, and yell at the top of my lungs, "SHAZAM".

    It's the proper way to die.

    You'd be surprised how easily religious people chalk up bad things that happen to them as "not god".

    Oh, I know.

    It would still give me a giggle though.

    And that's most important.
