THIS is moment a man was struck by lightning and collapses to the ground while walking to the dentist during a freak storm. Unbelievable footage shows a bright beam violently zap Thomas Fahmy during a thunderstorm in Staten Island, New York.
The Republican congressional staffer (why mention that?) miraculously survived the hit with not a single burn mark or serious injury. RING door video shows Thomas strolling in the rain past a white picket fence along Todt Avenue last Thursday.
Thomas – who was clutching an umbrella at the time – suddenly falls to the ground as a bright orange firebolt hits him. He told WNBC: “I was nearly 15, 20 ft away from my car when I was struck by lightning.
“It was a very intense burning sensation, tingling, numbness, pain. Sever pain in both of my feet.” He cried out for help while he lay on the pavement upon which a neighbour came to his aid. Following the ordeal Thomas was rushed to Northwell Staten Island University Hospital, where he was kept overnight for evaluation. He was discharged the next day virtually unharmed.

To me it appears the TREE was hit, not him.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine though that being that close he could have been much worse off than he actually was.
He may feel fine now but I've read of people having undetected issues . The body is electric and that much current can affect the nervous system and brain. Remember the Florida Ranger who got hit 7 times?
ReplyDeleteYou don't get struck by light and emerge unscathed. It may take time to discover the extent of his damage/injury but there will be some sequelae of some type.
ReplyDeleteSome have been struck multiple times and lived.
