A 68-year-old man from Pennsylvania says he is quite lucky after he survived his second lightning strike on Friday, nearly 27 years after lighting first struck him. Don Frick and his six other people were attending Hamlin's Ole Tyme Daz festival on Friday afternoon when the incident took place. After a sudden storm, all of them decide to take shelter in a shed shortly before lightning struck the ground nearby.

John Lyne, who is acclaimed as the "unluckiest" man in Britain, is again in the hospital, this time after falling into a manhole. The 54-year-old man has already had 16 major accidents including two lightning strikes, a rock-fall in a mine, nearly drowning and three car crashes. Lyne, of Stainforth, near Doncaster, Yorkshire is expected to spend 32 weeks to recuperate from his latest misfortune.

A woman who was struck by lightning suffered severe burning to her anus as it entered through her mouth and passed right through her body. Natasha Timarovic, 27, was at home cleaning her teeth when lightning hit the building.

Five people were killed and eight others injured on Tuesday when thunderbolts struck them in different villages in the Tangail and Sherpur districts in Bangladesh. The BDNEWS, a local news agency, reported that Monwar Hossain (14), Jahangir Alam (15) and Ehsanul Haque (14) were killed by lightning at Kalihati, Dhulutia and Amjani villages under Gopalpur upazila in Tangail district.

Her passion for shotgun shooting is so strong that according to reports, 82-year-old granny, Rita Roherty, won a bronze medal less than a year after she underwent triple bypass surgery. Roherty hit 91 of 100 clay pigeons to take third place in the women's shooting division of the Badger State Games in June. "When a gun fits you, it don't kick," she said to the Janesville Gazette in reference to one of her pet Browning Lightning 12-gauge over-under shotguns.
