FELLSMERE — A St. Augustine man was not seriously hurt when a lightning bolt struck him in the leg Wednesday afternoon.
"It feels like someone is holding a lighter to my leg," 23-year-old Donald Hosmer said about the burn he suffered at 2:30 p.m. while carrying groceries from a car to his sister's home at the corner of Bay Street and New York Avenue.
Paramedics from Indian River County Fire Rescue determined Hosmer didn't need to be hospitalized for the injury.
The lightning bolt struck a tree in the front yard of the home, Hosmer said. He was about 15 feet away from the tree and felt a jolt in his leg. He fell down but remained conscious as his sister, Teresa Swendsen of Fellsmere, dialed 911, she said.
Hosmer is the second person in two weeks in Indian River County to survive a lightning strike. On June 25, Albert McKenzie said he was fishing at a beach in Indian River Shores when he was struck. He was taken to Indian River Medical Center for a minor injury.
A few buildings have also been struck this week. The Environmental Learning Center in Wabasso lost one of its three buildings to a fire caused by a lightning strike Monday. Tuesday, a bolt put a small hole through the roof of a Vero Beach office building, but did not hurt anyone or cause serious damage. |

| Lightning Strikes Crane, Injuring 2 Workers
POSTED: 5:21 pm EDT July 2, 2008
MIAMI -- Two construction workers were injured after they were shocked by lightning Wednesday afternoon.
At least three lightning bolts struck a crane at a construction site, located at 2040 Bayshore Drive, in downtown Miami.
Work at the construction site had been delayed throughout the day because of severe weather.
As two crewmembers were returning to work and preparing to strap a load onto the crane on the 49th floor, they were shocked, Miami fire-rescue spokesman Ignatius Carroll Jr. said.
Carroll said it was static electricity that "was able to knock them off their feet."
Both of the victims were alert and talking when they were transported to the hospital, but one of the victims told rescuers he had trouble walking.
Construction was called off for the day following the incident.
The incident occurred at the same site where a piece of crane collapsed in March and fell through the roof of a house being used as a construction office, killing two workers. |

| Thunderstorms Move Through Wednesday
POSTED: 12:47 pm EDT July 2, 2008
UPDATED: 5:51 pm EDT July 2, 2008
BOSTON -- Severe thunderstorms moved across the region Wednesday afternoon leaving downed trees and power lines in their wake. Several students were injured when they were struck by lightning on the North Shore, according to fire officials.
Three students said they were struck by lightning in Gloucester. They were taken to Beverly Hospital, according to Wenham fire officials.
The storms kept local emergency and utility crews busy as they cleared trees and utility lines brought down during the storms.
NSTAR said the storms left about 3,500 customers without power in Newton and Watertown Wednesday afternoon.
The Sherborn Police Department was stuck by lightning, but no damage was reported. A tree fell on a car on Crescent Street in Wellesley, and another tree fell on the Massachusetts Turnpike's eastbound lanes near the Route 16 exit in Newton.
Golfers at a Wellesley golf course said they had to flee for cover as inch-sized hail started to rain down.
"I hit my shot and all of a sudden it started coming down so hard. So we went inside, and after about 10 minutes, the power got knocked out," said Paul Rigoli, of Wayland.
In Attleborough, crews put out a telephone pole fire at the intersection of South Main and Thacher streets at about 2:45 p.m. A tree limb fell on power lines, taking out electricity in the area of South Main, Thatcher, Bayberry and Locust streets, the Sun Chronicle reported.
In Norton, a tree limb fell on a house on Patten Road. No injuries were reported.
In North Attleboro, firefighters were investigating reports of a lightning strike on Mount Hope Street. Meanwhile, flooding has been reported throughout the area including on Mount Hope Street and along Paine Road, the paper reported.
Storm Team 5's Dick Albert said the storms produced flooding downpours, very strong winds and inch-sized hail.
In Peabody, a three-alarm fire broke out at the Highlands at Dearborn complex at 8 Dearborn Road. Witnesses said that a lighting strike sparked the blaze.
"It did start in an end unit. We didn't have to worry about the fire being fed in two different directions. We could focus all our attention on cutting the fire off from spreading horizontally," Peabody Fire Chief Chief Steve Pasden said.
In May, a massive fire destroyed a building in the complex, leaving dozens homeless. Officials later determined that improper cigarette disposal caused that fire.

Those who took 14 students rock climbing at Red Rock in Magnolia yesterday morning caught wind of the storm and "got all of the campers down off the mountain and into a safe location," said college spokeswoman Kristin Schwabauer.
But when staff members returned to gather equipment they had left behind, lightning struck a tree 15 feet away, and they were hit by a ground current, Schwabauer said.
"They were able to call the hospital, and they were just taken to the hospital for precautionary measures," Schwabauer said. By yesterday evening, two had been released. The other was kept at the hospital for observation.
Four lightning strikes set off alarms in Sherborn, but no injuries were reported. |

DIXFIELD - A bolt of lightning struck a ball field here Wednesday night, sending electrical current through many of the approximately 50 youths and adults assembled for a baseball game and blowing a hole through a nearby building, officials said.
It was instantly followed by an explosive crack of thunder that made everyone jump. In the following minutes, a steady stream of siren wails sounded from multiple emergency vehicles headed to the ball field at Marble Park on Coburn Avenue.
Shortly before 5:11 p.m., under blackening skies, people standing outside the Dixfield town office waiting for a selectmen's executive session to end saw a bolt of lightning rip laterally through the sky.
At 5:18 p.m., Selectman Brad Dyer rushed out of the meeting headed for the park after receiving a call saying that his 11-year-old son, Bailey Dyer, may have been struck by lightning.
When he arrived, several paramedics, emergency medical technicians and firefighters were checking conditions of people affected by the lightning strike. Dyer's son appeared to have been the most seriously traumatized.
"My son said he was playing with his friends and all of a sudden, he saw a big explosion right in front of his face, and said he suddenly felt dizzy and his head was pounding," Brad Dyer said. "It sounds like the lightning struck right in front of them.
"I was hit by lightning," Bailey Dyer said. "I was hyperventilating and crying after I saw this big explosion. I thought it was a terrorist attack."
"It felt like somebody dropped a bomb," said his friend, Zac Berry, 11, of Dixfield. "I saw Bailey on the ground and I said, 'Oh my God! Bailey's dead. When it hit me, (the bolt) was yellow. I couldn't feel anything in my head."
"When it hit me, it was orange," said their friend Summer McCollough, 14, of Dixfield. "I think it hit me on top of my head. People had headaches. Several boys on the Dixfield Orange Crush team had headaches."
"It felt like it hit me in the back of the head and it went right into my chest," Bailey Dyer's great aunt, Cyndi Welch said. "I don't know what hit me but I got it on the back of my head. It was like getting hit in the head by a baseball bat. Now, I just have a headache. A number of us have headaches."
She was sitting with her back to the blast on the aluminum bleachers with Kari Dwinal of Carthage. Dwinal, who also claimed she was struck in the head, called 911 to report the incident, because the blast blew Welch's cell phone out of her hand.
"I was sitting right next to her and her cell phone went flying and I put my hand on my head," Dwinal said.
Her son, Keith Dwinal, an outfielder on the Orange Crush team that was about to play a game with Rumford's Bowdoin team, said the bolt was half red, half blue.
"It felt like I was hit by a sledgehammer. It was wicked bad," Keith Dwinal said.
Med-Care Ambulance Director Dean Milligan said that when assistant fire Chief Chris Moretto, who is also Med-Care's assistant director, radioed that there were between 40 and 50 people affected, Milligan declared the lightning strike a mass casualty incident. He notified several ambulance responders to send help and alerted Rumford Hospital to expect injured people.
Med-Care responded with four ambulances. Ambulances from as far as Bethel, West Paris and Farmington were sent but later canceled.
"We spoke to 40 to 50 people, of whom, 20 to 30 had symptoms that we triaged, but six or seven people we did complete physical exams on and checked for vital signs," Milligan said.
Aside from headaches and tingling sensations, and hair standing on end due to residual electricity, none of the injuries appeared serious.
According to emergency responders, no one was struck by lighting, but a bolt punctured a nearby shed roof and blew out a small section of the wall at 52 Coburn Ave.
"Whether it was a direct hit by the bolt or a side streak, something did go through that building and came out through the ceiling," Moretto said after showing the bullet hole-like puncture in the shed's aluminum roof to fire Chief Scott Dennett.
The baseball game was canceled as a storm followed with heavy downpours and hail.
The storm caused scattered power outages in Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties.

July 3, 2008Herald Staff Report
A Durango woman was struck by lightning while golfing at Dalton Ranch Golf Club on Wednesday.
She was conscious and talking when transported by ambulance, said Amy McCardell, club manager.
McCardell declined to release the victim's name. She described the victim as "retiree age."
The woman was struck on the golf course. Two nurses who were with her immediately started administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation, McCardell said.

Wild weather rains down on Bay State

Lightning strikes sent campers in Gloucester running for their lives and motorists north of the city speeding for cover yesterday as a line of severe thunderstorms cut through the region.
“Looking at it all together, it was wild,” said Rebecca Gould, forecaster with the National Weather Service.
More than 3,500 homes lost power as lines were torn down in Cambridge, Beverly, Braintree, Holbrook, Weston and Watertown. Lightning also hit a church and police station in Sherborn.
Hail stones - some the size of gumballs - sent commuters on Interstate 93 north of Boston racing for cover at underpasses as the ice balls pelted their vehicles.
In Gloucester, four counselors from a rock-climbing camp were rocked by a lightning bolt after it struck a tree 15 feet behind them. Three of the counselors were sent to Beverly Hospital, with one admitted as a precaution, said a camp spokesman.
“We’re grateful nothing bad happened,” said Kristin Schwabauer from Gordon College in Wenham. The campers were from the school-sponsored Lavida Adventure Camp and were rock-climbing close by when the storm hit. All of the campers were taken to shelter, but the four counselors went back for equipment when the lightning hit.
Forecasters say muggy conditions fed the storms on a “sea breeze front” that ripped down branches from Providence to north of Boston.
“It’s an atypical season but typical for the past few weeks,” said Gould.
As for the heat, yesterday’s high temperature reached near 85 degrees and is expected to hover close to 90 today. More storms may pass through late and linger for the Fouth of July, but it will be cooler and clear up quickly.
As for fireworks on the Esplanade, forecasters say the cloud cover will be gone in time for the Boston Pops show.

| Lightning kills three Cambodian soccer players
Reuters, Tuesday July 1 2008
PHNOM PENH, July 1 (Reuters) - A lightning bolt killed three Cambodian soccer players and put three others in hospital at a match played during a monsoon season thunder-storm, officials said on Tuesday.
The victims, all in their 20s, were taking part in a tournament organised by the government to introduce the game to youngsters and ultimately to improve the strength of the national side, said Cambodia Soccer Federation President Sao Sokha.
Monday's freak incident in the southeast Asian nation's capital prompted a warning to players and coaches not to take to the field while thunderclouds loomed overhead -- an almost daily occurence in the May-October rainy season.
"We encourage children to play the game, but they should not do so during bad weather," Sao Sokha said.
Keo Vy of of the National Disaster Committee said 40 people had been killed nationwide by lightning so far this year, nearly as many as the total killed for the whole of 2007. Reasons for the dramatic increase remain unclear. (Reporting by Ek Madra; Editing by Ed Cropley and Ben Tan) |

| A teenage boy is recovering after being struck by lightning. This comes just a few weeks after a young girl in Liberty county died from being struck by lightning.
Just after noon Monday, 16-year-old Fernando Ochoa was struck by lightning in Madison County.
Ochoa was working at a local dairy for the summer. But he spent Monday's lunch break in the ER.
Family and friends gathered outside of Madison County Memorial hospital, still in shock from the day's events. They say Fernando Ochoa was spending the summer working at the dairy where his father works.
But thunder storms raged during their lunch break. "He walked over to see his dad about stopping for lunch and the lightning strike occurred probably a hundred yards from him," says Greg Watts, who also works at the dairy.
Co-workers say they aren't exactly sure how the lightning traveled those hundred yards over to Fernando Ochoa, but it did.
"He didn't feel anything at first but they they saw him sitting down in a chair and they realized it wasn't a game," says Fernando's brother Rodolfo Ochoa.
Co-workers say they realized there was a big problem when they saw Ochoa shaking uncontrollably on one side of his body.
"You know he kept insisting I'm okay, I'm okay, then on the way here I think he started to get a little less coherent and have less control over his limbs and things like that," adds Watts.
Family members say Ochoa told them he felt stiff and couldn't move.
"He's okay, I just went in there and looked at him. He's talking fine. They told me to keep talking to him so he won't fall asleep," says Rodolfo Ochoa.
Officials at EMS say Ochoa has been released from the hospital. And family members say doctors expect him to be sore for quite a while.
Weather Officials say the most dangerous place to be during a thunderstorm is in an open area, where more than nearly half of all lightning deaths occur.
They say the safest place to be is in a substantial building like your home and as far away from the windows as possible. |

Alice Lasher, a spokeswoman for the Boring Fire Department, said one of the men was seriously injured.
Henry Nyquist said his neighbor, Ed Witterlin, had been talking to a man about tree trimming work when the lightning bolt struck.
"My neighbor managed to make it back into the house, but his wife said he was staggering," Nyquist said. "Then collapsed."
The two men are in their 50s or 60s, Lasher said. An ambulance took the more seriously injured man to Mount Hood Medical Center in Gresham. The other man was sent to Portland's Legacy Emanuel Hospital.
The only sign of the lightning strike late Sunday night was some split and blackened shrubbery.
Another lightning strike shattered a tree about 2 miles away, turning the healthy fir into firewood. The strike on Ondo Rivera Drive came at about 6 p.m. |

COLTS NECK — Two people and six horses were knocked unconscious Sunday after lightning struck a horse trailer they were working near at Bucks Mills Park. Both men, as well as the horses, were recovering and in good condition.
Player John Kriegee, 36, of Newton refused medical treatment after regaining consciousness and drove home, Colts Neck Patrolman Kristian DeVito said.
The polo umpire, Stephen Conroy, 49, of Frenchtown, lived to tell his story in a telephone interview from CentraState Medical Center in Freehold Township, where he was being treated for a broken left arm.
Thirty seconds into the polo match — Tinicum Park, Pa., vs. Colts Neck — dark clouds rolled in, lightning was seen, the game was canceled, and an air horn was blown urging players and spectators to quickly find cover, polo announcer Carol Stahl said.
The storm came quickly, bringing frequent lightning — a few strikes every minute, at least — and pouring rain, Stahl said.
Spectators rushed to their cars, which were about 30 feet away from the field, but the horse trailers were parked on one end of the field about 130 yards away from the players, Stahl said.
As Conroy was getting horses ready to enter the trailer, a bolt of lightning, one Conroy does not remember seeing, struck the trailer.
"The next thing I remember, literally, I was on the ground 10 feet away," he said, amused.
The lightning bolt knocked Conroy and Kriegee unconscious and threw them 10 feet from the trailer.
Conroy said he opened his eyes opened and saw Kriegee on the ground near him. Realizing he could not move his body, Conroy said he became worried that he might be trampled by the horses when regaining consciousness.
Conroy said the horses, which were being held up at the neck by ropes, were knocked down, each falling on top of the horse in front of it.
"It looked like a domino effect," he said.
Slowly, as his ability to move returned, he tried dragging himself away from the horses, he said. He said he had no use of his left arm at all. It had been broken, doctors at CentraState later confirmed, he said.
Other tests — including an electrocardiogram and a CT scan — found that his heart and other organs were working properly despite the flow of electricity through them, he said.
"The storm really shook everyone up," Stahl said.
She said the horses appear to be fine, which is surprising considering the metal on the bottom of their hooves.
It's amazing no one was seriously injured, DeVito said. One of the worst places you could be during a thunderstorm is in a big open field, he said, next to big metal trailers.

CANTON, Conn. -- Bert LeBreck was working in the garage of his Canton home Sunday when lightning struck.
He said he was standing in his garage when he saw a blinding flash of light followed by a deafening explosion. The surge sent him flying across the garage and he slammed against the back wall.
LeBreck was on the ground shaking, but he was also making jokes, his neighbor said.
The lightning strike hit the top of a tree and ripped off all the branches, he said.
Firefighters said the jolt traveled through the family's invisible dog fence, leaving behind a charred path. |

| Lightning Strikes 2 Men, 6 Horses At NJ Polo Match
Survivor Stephen Conroy Tells CBS 2 HD Of Seeing Animals 'All Upside Down And On Top Of Each Other'
Amazingly, Despite Being Knocked Unconscious, All Survived
Reporting
Christine Sloan FREEHOLD, N.J. (CBS) ― It's an incredible story of luck and survival. Lightning recently struck a polo match, knocking two men and six horses unconscious.
CBS 2 HD spoke with one of the survivors from his hospital bed.
"It hit and I remember it going through me," Stephen Conroy said of the lightning bolt.
Conroy still can't believe he is alive to tell his terrifying story.
"It wasn't my time," Conroy said.
Conroy was struck by lightning at a polo match in Colts Neck during Sunday's storm.
"The next thing … I wake up 10 feet away on the ground, face down, with my arm blown up. I thought it was severed because the pain was excruciating," Conroy said.
Believe it or not, except for some bruising at the site where the electricity entered his body, the 49-year-old umpire has no serious injuries. However, he still remembers the panic he felt, laying next to a player who was also hit and surrounded by six prone horses.
"I couldn't stand up so I'm paralyzed for a moment," Conroy said. "So I pull myself from the mud.
"I see all the horses … the six horses … they've all dominoed. They're all knocked unconscious. They're all upside down and on top of each other," Conroy said.
Miraculously, the horses all came to and are fine.
"I'm just happy … to be alive," Conroy said.
In fact, Conroy's doctor told him he cheated death twice.
"You got struck by lightning and you could have been trampled by horses," Conroy said. "Someone is looking out for me."
But the scary ordeal hasn't deterred Conroy from doing what he loves. He'll be umpiring a game this coming weekend.
Conroy said the lesson he learned is to cancel a match the second a thunder cloud moves in |

| Firefighters struck by lightning in remote terrain
The Associated Press
LENOIR, N.C. --Eight members of a crew fighting a North Carolina wildfire were taken to a hospital because of a lightning strike in a remote part of Caldwell County, officials said Sunday.
The firefighters were taking a water break Saturday afternoon when the lightning struck a snag nearby and apparently traveled through the ground, said Rusty Dellinger, Caldwell County ranger with North Carolina Forest Service.
The workers were about an hour from their own vehicles, so responders used all-terrain vehicles to reach them in the remote and rugged terrain.
Dellinger said six of the firefighters remained under observation at Caldwell Memorial Hospital on Sunday. One had been released. An eighth was transferred to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte.
"Everybody's in good condition," he said.
The firefighters had been working to improve containment lines around a small wildfire. Dellinger said there were no signs of lightning before the bolt struck. |

| 8 firefighters injured by nearby lightning

Eight firefighters were injured Saturday afternoon when lightning struck near where they were working to contain a blaze in Caldwell County just outside Lenoir.
None had life-threatening injuries, said Hunter Birckhead, Lenoir District forester with the N.C. Forest Service. Most reported burns on their feet and pain in their legs. One firefighter was taken to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte. The rest were being treated at Caldwell Memorial Hospital Saturday evening. The Forest Service did not immediately release the firefighters' identities.
The strike happened around 4:30 p.m. near Buffalo Cove Road and N.C. 268, about 85 miles northwest of Charlotte. At the time, about 15 firefighters were battling the blaze, which was started by a lightning strike the day before.
Birckhead said “this is the first time in my 25 years with the Forest Service” he's seen that many people injured by a single lightning strike. He was still notifying family members of the injured firefighters late Saturday.
The crew included personnel from the N.C. Forest Service and members of a crew, made up of nonviolent offenders serving time in prison. Crews had been working since Friday afternoon, fighting a fire that had swelled to four acres. Caldwell County paramedics transported the injured men out.
It took a couple of hours to get all the injured out because the paramedics had to travel a gravel road then go a mile into the woods with gear, authorities told WCNC-TV, the Observer's news partner.
Birckhead said that just before the strike, the Forest Service was tracking storms traveling through Caldwell County.
“We talked about 15 minutes before (the strike), identifying a storm coming from their west,” Birckhead said. “The folks that were on the scene said that most of the skies were blue.” |

| Struck by lightning - and alive to tell

LENOIR --
A bright white flash. A deafening boom. Then shock and pain and lots of yelling.
That's how 18-year-old Alex Smith remembers the moment Saturday when he and a crew of firefighters were struck by lightning, high on a ridge in the Yadkin Valley wilderness.
“It was weird, like everyone was moving in slow motion,” Smith said. “I think we all were in shock at first. Then everyone started yelling for help.”
Smith, a firefighter with the Gamewell Volunteer Fire Department, was on a strike force sent out Saturday to tackle a four-acre forest fire burning in the foothills near Buffalo Cove Road in northern Caldwell County. N.C. Forest Service officials said the fire was probably started by lightning Friday.
Smith and some two dozen firefighters – including several members of BRIDGE, a special program that trains nonviolent inmates to fight fires – patrolled the borders of the containment area, making sure the fire did not spread. It took an hour to hike into the site, and then they fought the fire for about five hours. They took a break about 4:30 p.m.
Smith sat on the ground, while others stood around him. The sky above was blue, but dark clouds hovered in the distance.
“Then the next thing I knew I was knocked off the ground and back about five or 10 feet and there was the loudest ‘boom' I'd ever heard in my life,” he said.
Lightning struck the ground nearby and raced to where the firefighters were standing. While many were shocked, only eight were injured enough to be hospitalized. Crew members used all-terrain vehicles to get them down, out of the foothills.
Smith said the pain from the strike was intense. The burning sensation caused the muscles in his legs to seize up.
Steve Clark, 29, was standing near Smith when the lightning struck and electricity plowed through the ground, stretching in several directions. He said he was shocked, but was relatively unharmed.
“I have no idea why it missed me,” he said. “You could see, on the ground, the path of the lightning. It traveled straight to where we were.”
On Sunday, all of the firefighters were doing well. Seven remained hospitalized for observation.
Most of them suffered burns to their feet and legs and were experiencing some soreness and tingling in their joints.
Smith had some minor burns that trekked up his legs in a spider web fashion. Another firefighter, Kenneth Robbins, still had black marks on his feet.
“You can see where it went in, right through my leather boots,” he said.
Robbins, 40, is the assistant ranger for Caldwell County and was in charge of the injured crew Saturday. An experienced member of the Forest Service, Robbins has fought many forest fires and has never had such an experience before.
“I've never even heard of something like that,” he said. “I'd say we were all pretty lucky.” |

MORA, Minn. (AP) A Minnesota man is home from the hospital from being struck by lightning after he ran out into his yard during a storm to stop the wind from blowing his gazebo away.
Kent Lilyerd of Mora was released Sunday afternoon from Hennepin County Medical Center where he was taken after a Friday night storm. His doctors say it's amazing he's alive.
After he was struck, Lilyerd lay in his yard for almost two hours, passing in and out of consciousness. His wife, a nurse who works a night shift, was asleep in the house and never heard her husband.
Doctors think it's likely Lilyerd's wet clothes saved him. They say the jolt apparently ran through his wet clothes instead of through his body.
Lilyerd isn't out of the woods. People struck by lightning are at higher risk of developing cataracts and can suffer tingling in fingers and toes for months after.

| strike kills white buffalo
(Published Monday, November 27, 2006 12:13:08 PM CST)

Gazette Staff
Lightning on Sunday night struck and killed two buffalo cows and three buffalo calves, including a white buffalo-Miracle's Second Chance-on the Heider farm south of Janesville, Dave Heider said this morning.
Heider discovered the five dead buffalo when he went to check on the animals this morning before going to work.
The white calf's mother was walking around and grunting, so Heider followed her up the hill where he found the five dead buffalo with burn marks laying near a tree.
He thinks it was one lightning strike that hit all five and the nearby tree.
The farm became a destination for thousands of visitors after Miracle, a female white buffalo, was born there on Aug. 20, 1994. In 1995, visitors to the Heider farm increased tourism to Rock County by 22 percent.
White buffalo are extremely rare and are said to fulfill a Native American legend foretelling peace.
Miracle died in 2004 and is now stuffed in the Heider gift shop.
A male white buffalo was born on the farm Aug. 25 this year.
"How many times in a lifetime does lighting strike?" Heider said to The Janesville Gazette after the second birth.
Sunday's storm answered his question, again.
Earlier this year, lightning struck a couple of his Scottish Highlander cows, Heider said, but it had never happened to any of his buffalo.
He said they figured they'd better "call it in and get it on the news wire" so people wanting to visit the white buffalo wouldn't be surprised.
"I suppose it's going to be a great loss to a lot of people," he said.
Since the August birth, "a lot of people" have called about visiting the farm, including people from Canada, he said.
Sunday night's thunderstorm brought 0.24 inches of rain to the area.
"It's just coincidence, I guess, that lightning struck twice," he said. "He (Miracle's Second Chance) was born in a storm and died in a storm."

| Hikers shaken after apparent lightning strike on Mount Major
By CUTTER MITCHELL
jmitchell@citizen.com
Article Date: Saturday, June 28, 2008
A family hiking on Mount Major was left shaken, but visibly unharmed after reporting being struck by lightning after a strong and fast-moving storm hammered portions of the Lakes Region Friday afternoon.
The call came into 911 just before 5 p.m. and sent rescue personnel scrambling after the caller reported three people being struck by lightning while hiking on Mount Major, located along Route 11.
A crew of eight from the Alton Fire Department went into the woods of Mount Major to retrieve the father and two daughters. All three were less than five minutes from the base of the mountain and were on their return trip when the lightning stuck.
Lt. Michael Viscariello said it appears the three were in the area of a lightning strike. but were not actually struck He explained the sensation of feeling such a lightning strike nearby, as if a live utility wire hit the ground near a person, they would be able to feel it even though they did not actually touch the wire.
"Lightning is the same idea, it is electricity," said Viscariello.
The man and both daughters were able to climb down the mountain under their own power. They were apparently enjoying a mid-afternoon hike when thunderclouds rolled in.
While no physical displays of a direct lightning strike were present, such as burns, emergency personnel medically assessed all three at the scene. As a part of this assessment, they all were hooked up to cardiac monitors for precautionary reasons.
Viscariello explained the concern being that even with an indirect strike, which is likely in this case, the electrical current has the ability to interfere with heart functions.
No other information was available; however, all three were able to unload their gear into their pickup truck before climbing into the ambulance. |

| Lightning strikes complex, injures two firefighters By LEEANN MOORE • Staff Writer • June 27, 2008 Print this page E-mail this article Share this article: Del.icio.us Facebook Digg Reddit Newsvine What’s this? ZANESVILLE -They say lightning never strikes the same place twice. But two firefighters who received an electric charge Thursday while battling a blaze at a six-unit apartment complex in South Zanesville are second-guessing that theory. Six fire departments responded to 1400 Woodbury Drive, where lightning struck the complex and then struck again shortly after. Newton Township Volunteer Firefighter Matt Wolfe and Zanesville Fire Department Firefighter Steve Embrey were both transported to Genesis Good Samaritan Hospital Thursday after they received an electric charge from the second lightning strike. Wolfe, who was standing in the middle of a room, was blown through a broken window and landed 10 feet from where he was standing. He was knocked unconscious and when he came to, felt tingly all over, but didn't know what had happened. "It was probably the scariest thing I ever experienced," Wolfe said. "I was getting ready to grab the hose line and the next thing I knew, I was flat on my back." He said he noticed the lightning strikes were getting closer, but also knew he had a job to do. Embrey, who was on the opposite side of the building, had both hands on the hose line when he felt something funny in his left hand. "I had both hands on the hose and I could feel my left hand, it felt like getting electrocuted. So I let go of the hose and it felt like somebody smacked something down on the ground by my feet. My knees just went weak and I went down to the ground," he said. But somehow, Embrey remained conscious. He said he's had close calls in his career, the scariest involving an incident with gunpowder, but nothing like this. "I don't know that we'll ever know exactly. I know that there was a lightning bolt that hit not far from where we were standing. The engine took an electrical charge and those two guys. I'm sure Matt took significantly more than Steve because he was physically moved out of the building, whereas Steve said it felt more like when you're wiring something up and take an electrical shock," said Newton Fire Chief Allen Deaver. "It was a phenomenal morning." Besides a headache, both Embrey and Wolfe were doing OK Thursday afternoon. The two shared a room at Good Sam, both with worried family and friends by their side. "I couldn't get to the hospital quick enough," said Terri Wolfe, Matt's mother. She and Matt's girlfriend, Martine Smith, only left his side to make quick phone calls. "It doesn't fit together how it hit in one place then in another," Terri said. "God was on their side." Taylor Harlan had just awakened around 4 a.m. when he heard the lightning strike. Thinking it was outside, he went to his bedroom only to look up and see a hole in the roof and the fire that would quickly consume the six-apartment complex. "I was sleeping on the couch. I just got up and I heard the lightning. I thought it was outside," said Harlan, 13. He had gotten up early to go weightlifting. When he saw the fire, though, he awoke his dad and they began to get the other residents of the Woodbury Apartments out. "I couldn't believe it. I never thought it would happen," said Harlan as he stood outside still watching as firefighters continued to work on extinguishing the fire hours later. He said in addition to the flames, he would hear oxygen tanks that some residents had exploding. But as he watched he also saw lightning injure the two firefighters. Harlan said he saw Wolfe get blown backwards. Harlan could only watch as the firefighters made their way through the complex putting out the hot spots. He said his mom passed away last year from cancer and the fire destroyed all her antiques and pictures. Deaver said the first lightning strike hit the peak of the roof on the north side of the building. When his department arrived, the roof of the building, which eventually collapsed, was heavily involved. The fire was in an attic space that spread above all six apartments. He's guessing the second strike hit somewhere toward the middle of the building. "We were into what we call mop up and it's a fairly calm time. Guys are just squirting some water, dragging some stuff around. It's a much more calm atmosphere than when you first get to a fire, then all of a sudden all hell broke loose," he said. He's never had one of his firefighters struck by lightning or receive an electric charge as the result of lightning. "The lightning bolt was incredible. It was a flash of light and boom instantaneously. The engine started doing crazy stuff and people started yelling that there were firefighters down," he said. He credits all the firefighters on the scene, who remained calm, and the dispatchers at the Muskingum County Sheriff's Office for handling a hectic morning so well. Newton Township Volunteer Fire Department, Zanesville City Fire Department, South Zanesville Volunteer Fire Department, Harrison Township Volunteer Fire Department, Roseville Volunteer Fire Department and Falls Township Volunteer Fire Department all responded to the fire. One person from the apartments was taken to the hospital for treatment and later released. The local chapter of the American Red Cross was on the scene assisting the families. Six families were left homeless including, Harry and Linda Lorentz, Patricia Navaugh, Richard Harlan and his son, Taylor, Daniel and Lindsay Ross, Alan and Sherry Foley and Cory and Dusty Grimes and their three children, ages 5, 10 and 12. leemoore@nncogannett.com 740-450-6758 |

NORTHWEST OHIO -- Thursday night's storms rolled through the area Thursday evening, damaging landscapes, felling trees, knocking out power lines.
News 11 photojournalist Dustin Macaulay's cameras were rolling when the bad weather hit. (See the video, to the right.)
One man was reported to have been struck by lightning on Washington St. in Cygnet. News 11 learned the 34-year-old was taken to Wood County Hospital and was conscious and breathing at the time. There has been no word on his identity or condition.
Lightning near the University of Toledo caused a fire that collapsed the roof into shops at a strip mall. Later, fire crews oversaw the demolition of the shopping center, worth about $190,000 according to county records.
Winds shattered a revolving door at the downtown Toledo Government Center, sending glass flying across the lobby.
Authorities say when the storms moved east into Lorain County, roads were submerged in up to 3 ft. of water. Firefighters in Wellington used an inflatable boat to rescue one motorist trapped in water up to the windows of her car.
Thursday night's bad weather also left some Toledo streets underwater, including the intersection at Monroe and Luann in west Toledo.
Numerous tree limbs were reported to have crashed to the ground in Oregon. Large hail fell from the sky in Tiffin. In Northwood, trees and branches littered the landscape.

UPDATED: 9:07 am EDT June 29, 2008
COLLINS, Ohio -- A woman died after lightning struck her and her husband following a thunderstorm in northern Ohio.
Huron County Coroner Jeff Harwood said the lightning stopped the heart of 51-year-old Debra Meltzer and knocked her husband, Ken, unconscious.
Debra Meltzer's father, Hagis Tuttle of Wakeman, said the couple was walking in their yard in Huron County when the bolt hit.
"The sun was shining, and it had quit raining. Lightning hit and knocked them both out," Tuttle said.
Debra Meltzer was taken to a nearby hospital in Norwalk after the 3:30 p.m. Thursday strike. Harwood said she was in a coma and brain damaged and removed from life support about midnight.
Ken Meltzer suffered an ankle injury.
"Went to go feed my animals and lightning struck the tree, struck me, struck her -- put us both down. Nothing you can do about it. My foot's sore. I got burns on it, but I will get over that," Ken said
From 1998 to 2007, 14 people were killed by lightning in Ohio, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. |

HOUSTON -- A man riding his son's bike Wednesday afternoon was struck by lightning and lived to tell the tale.
It happened in the 7300 block of Gateridege in northwest Harris County as Sean Miller rode a bike under an overcast sky.
“It wasn’t thundering and lightning outside,” he said. “It hadn’t even started raining yet. It was really weird, but all of a sudden it was real crackly outside, my muscles tensed up and I could see these sparks,” Miller said.
A bolt streaked through the sky, and a neighbor driving behind Miller saw what happened next. “Like a white bolt hit right in front of us, and I seen a spark like a flame near his handle bars,” Gilbert Lozano said Miller looked like a moving sparkler. He’d been hit and was paralyzed. “Just these little sparkles,” Miller said. “My body felt a little tight, and I remember thinking, ‘hey I just got hit by lightning; well that wasn’t so bad.’ Couldn’t pedal — fell off the bike.”
From Lozano’s viewpoint, it looked like his longtime friend was on the ground, hurt and possibly dead
“It was the longest minute of my life,” he said.
Lozano ran to help him, called 911, but Miller was conscious and soon able to speak again.
“I said, ‘how old are you,’” Lozano said. “He wouldn’t talk; ‘I’m 32 no 33,’ started saying funny things,” said
But Miller’s fine - just a bruise or two and is not complaining.
“I’m like, I’m alive — how bad can it be?” Miller said.
Within hours he was the talk amongst the neighborhood kids: the guy who got hit by lightning and lived to talk about it.
What do you think he asked for when he finally came to? A Dr Pepper.
It’s the tale they’re telling; two friends happy to shake hands again.

| Children struck by lightning in Douglas
A young brother and sister are recovering in a hospital tonight after they were struck by lightning during a day of play at the park.
Douglas Fire officials say the storm blew in without warning yesterday.
The clouds over Douglas don't look threatening now but on Tuesday the clouds moved in with a vengence.
Antonio Martinez lives across the street from the park.
"Lighting, one real hard one, never seen one like that it was a ball of fire," says Martinez
The call came in as two children injured struck by lighting.
The Douglas Fire Department and Paramedic Joey Alvarez arrived within minutes.
Alvares says, "When we were responding to this call we had heavy wind, and rain. There was a lot of lighting in the area."
It was one of those huge bolts of lighting that struck this tree at the park where a brother and a sister were playing. Their mother, looked on.
Alvarez says, "The mother was standing in the ramada area and witnessed the incident. She saw the children fall the the ground."
Alvarez says the children were conscious and treated for lighting strike injuries.
The children were rushed here to the Southeastern Health Center and treated. Once the weather subsided they were airlifted to a hospital in Phoenix.
The names of the children are not known so we were unable to get an update on their conditions. |

Adam Rice was struck on the hand Wednesday afternoon at the Whisper Lake apartments, located on state Road 436 south of University Boulevard.
"All of sudden it sounded like fireworks go off, just loud pops, like, constantly," Rice said. "The whole house lit up blue, and I got zapped on my hand."
Rice told Local 6 News that the current traveled through his body and exited between the two smallest toes on one of his feet.
"My foot just kind of burns a little and stings when I walk," Rice said.
The lightning strike also caused a small brush fire nearby.
"I called the fire department and I (said), 'I just got struck by lightning and the woods are on fire," Rice said. "Next thing I know my body felt like I stuck a fork in an outlet. I just dove off my bed until it was gone," Rice said.
Rice refused medical treatment and said he will be going on a date Wednesday night.

| CRANSTON, R.I. -- Strong thunderstorms passed through Southern New England on Tuesday.
Lightning apparently struck a man in Bristol and set a house on fire in Seekonk. The storm dropped hail in Pawtucket, creating winterlike scenes that looked more like January than June.
Bristol police said a man fishing on a jetty was apparently struck by lightning. The victim, whose name was not released, was taken to Rhode Island Hospital, where he was in critical condition.
Police said the man was struck at about 12:24 p.m. as he and a friend were fishing on the Bristol waterfront. Police said the friend heard thunder and turned around to see the man had collapsed.
Lightning struck a house on Scott Road in Seekonk, setting it on fire. No one was home at the time, but neighbors rescued a pet.
Fire officials said the lightning knocked down the chimney and started a fire on the second floor.
National Grid reported that about 1,800 homes and businesses in Rhode Island were without power. The utility said it hoped to have electricity restored by Tuesday evening.
The weather service’s warning was too late for a 42-year-old man who was struck by lightning as he was fishing off the rocks near Roger Williams University, in Bristol. Rescuing him was tricky.
As rain pelted down and lightning flashed overhead, about 20 volunteer firefighters worked their way down the shore to the unconscious man, who had collapsed and become stuck in the rocks, said Bristol Fire Chief Robert J. Martin. They lifted him into a Stokes basket and carefully carried him off the rain-slicked rocks, he said.
The ambulance couldn’t reach the area, so one of the volunteer firefighters drove his pickup truck to the shoreline, Martin said, and firefighters loaded the man and basket into the back of the truck. The firefighters performed CPR on the man — whose identity was unavailable last night — as they rushed him to Rhode Island Hospital’s trauma care unit, Martin said. He estimated that the rescue took about 10 minutes
BRISTOL, R.I. (WPRI) - Authorities have released the name of a local man struck by lightning as 32-year-old, Edgardo Torres.
Torres is fighting for his life after being struck by lightning while fishing in Bristol on Tuesday afternoon.
His friend who witnessed the accident spoke only to Eyewitness News about what he saw happen.
"I never hear a noise, so big like that, I looked over, I didn't see him, then I look, he was on top of the rock, his face was underwater," says the victim's friend, Benjamin Soto.
Torres is listed in critical condition at Rhode Island Hospital
CRANSTON, R.I. -- A man who was struck by lightning during an intense storm earlier this week died at Rhode Island Hospital on Thursday night.
Edgardo Torres, 32, of Providence was fishing with a friend on a jetty on Tuesday afternoon in Bristol when he was struck.
A friend told authorities that he heard thunder, turned around, and saw Torres on the ground.
He was unconscious and was revived with CPR.

HANGZHOU -- Three people died when lightning struck a boat on Monday night in the eastern province of Zhejiang, local sources said on Tuesday.
The boat was docked at Yangmei Island, near Fengmao Village in Chun'an County, when the lightning struck, leaving seven people in the cabin in a coma.
One person was declared dead at the scene, while two died on the way to a hospital. Four others were injured and taken for hospital treatment. One person was later discharged.
The victims were about to load the boat with waxberries they had just picked. One person had disembarked to tie the mooring rope and thus escaped injury.
South and east China have had days of heavy rain. The government of Hangzhou, the capital city of Zhejiang, urged local officials to raise public awareness of the dangers of lightning.

Lightning strikes teen at Binder Lake
A teenager was taken to University of Missouri-Columbia Hospital late this morning after apparently being struck by lightning while fishing at Binder Lake.
Officials said the 17-year-old boy was David McAdams, a Jefferson City High School student.
District spokesman David Luther said McAdams and some other teens had finished an informal cross-country run through Binder Park.
The lake is operated by the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Department.
Parks Director Bill Lockwood said McAdams was among four people who were fishing along the shore when the incident occurred just after 9 a.m.
“We don't know if he got struck directly, but we were told he took a few steps and then collapsed,” Lockwood said. “This happened between the boat ramp area and a hill on the west side of the lake. The storms came quickly and they might not have been able to have seen them because of the tree line.”
Cole County Sheriff Greg White said eyewitnesses reported a citizen began performing CPR on the youth before crews from Regional West Fire Department and Capital Region Medical Center arrived on the scene.
McAdams first was taken to St. Mary's Health Center in Jefferson City, where he was listed in critical condition, before being transferred to Columbia.
Lockwood said the department has day camps at the lake and they were moved under shelters as the storms hit.
“The evening and late afternoon are the worst times,” he said. “We train our umpires and field supervisors to be vigilant when they see storms coming. We did shut down the pools Tuesday morning and canceled swim lessons.
“There's no scientifically accurate method to determine how close storms are and how fast they are moving when you're sitting outside,” Lockwood said. “We tell our folks that if they hear thunder and see lightning, to start thinking about moving out. We have people outside all the time and anyone can be at risk.”

A 17-year-old Jefferson City boy remained in serious condition at University of Missouri-Columbia Hospital Wednesday morning, after being struck by lightning while fishing at Binder Lake a day earlier.
Officials identified the teen as David McAdams, who will be a Jefferson City High School junior.
District spokesman David Luther said McAdams and some other teens had finished an informal cross-country run through Binder Park and had stayed to do some fishing.
“David McAdams has a great reputation at the high school as a scholar and an athlete,” Luther said Wednesday. “Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
“His coaches are concerned and have been to the hospital to see him.”
The lake is operated by the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Department.
Parks Director Bill Lockwood said McAdams was the only one hurt among four people who were fishing along the shore when the lightning struck, just after 9 a.m. Tuesday.
“We don't know if he got struck directly, but we were told he took a few steps and then collapsed,” Lockwood said. “This happened between the boat ramp area and a hill on the west side of the lake.
