What’s it like to be hit by lightning?


Nine out of every 10 people struck by lightning lives to tell the tale. But aside from the possibility of severe burns, they could suffer a variety of short- and long-term effects, reports science writer Charlotte Huff for our long read series, as well as cardiac arrest, seizures, dizziness, deafness, headaches, memory deficits, personality changes and chronic pain. She has spoken to survivors such as Justin Gauger, who was fishing near Flagstaff, Arizona when he was struck causing excruciating pain and leaving him with coin-sized burns on his feet where the lightning bolt is thought to have exited his body.
