[QUOTE="pickup, post: 543915"] Interesting story from a scientific viewpoint. He got nailed while stepping out of the truck. I wonder if he grounded the circuit so to speak , by stepping on the ground (literally grounding the circuit) making the lightning more attracted to him and the possibly statically charged package car. I was once walking through the streets of my neighborhood when a particularly vicious thunder/lightning storm was approaching rapidly from the west. Each passing minute brought the lightning closer and closer and I can see the hits (buildings, etc). Then another lightning bolt hit within a stone's throw of where I was. The light and the sound were simultaneous which indicated how close it was . At that moment, I felt a slight shock on my forehead. I had to grab a street sign post just to keep my balance as the shock unbalanced and disoriented me. I can only imagine what it felt like for this poor fellow [/QUOTE]
