You just stopped me from posting an immature Star Wars image and/or that "lightning bolt!" LARP video from YouTube. Just barely. And maybe not for long.

Quote:
Roy Cleveland Sullivan (February 7, 1912 - September 28, 1983) was a U.S. park ranger in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. Between 1942 and 1977, Sullivan was hit by lightning on seven different occasions and survived all of them. For this reason, he gained a nickname "Human Lightning Conductor" or "Human Lightning Rod". Sullivan is recognized by Guinness World Records as the person being struck by lightning more recorded times than any other human being. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the age of 71 over an unrequited love.[1][2][3][4][5]

better off being killed by lightning than surviving, lots of serious neuro shit happens to survivors later in life.

Love is stronger than our presence here on earth, I am on my way to class (in college) and fate led me to see this article, I got a strong desire in my stomach to comfort you. ...but I don't know how. Just know that as humans we will all come together to make sure you and your lady are okay. I love the outdoors and would be honored to die in its presence.

Although ECT is still successfully practised with serious psychiatric conditions...

Having done large portions of the AT in the southern states it is easy to understand the unpredictability of storms like this. Forecasts are rarely accurate. My forecast was looking in the sky. Storms often appear out of nowhere, especially in the afternoon. It easy to be caught out in the open when a storm rolls in. Especially at a bald mountain like Max Patch. It's happened to me in the Roan Highlands where many of the mountains are bald. Basically, I ran my ass off to the tree line and it was not a short run either. Normally I don't give a shit about rain. It's actually quite pleasant to hike in, all the tourist types stay home. But electrical storms you do not fuck with. Especially since marked trails all take you on ridges. How unfortunate for this guy.

What a travesty, he may never find love again. After all, lightning doesn't stri... I mean.. it is very unlikely.
