The Human Lightning Rod

This park ranger survived seven lightning strikes and lived to tell about it. Roy Sullivan was

just doing his job in Virginia's forests when nature decided to use him as target practice.

Between 1942 and 1977, lightning found him seven different times.

First strike burned his toenail off. Second one knocked him unconscious. The third set his

hair on fire. But Roy kept showing up to work like nothing happened. By strike number

seven, people called him the Human Lightning Rod. What are the odds

of getting struck by lightning once? One in a million. Seven times? Basically impossible.

Yet Roy survived them all.
