Following up on my posting from yesterday on lightning, here’s an interesting story from Yahoo Finance on what happens after you get hit by lightning.  After reading it, I think you’ll agree that it is MUCH BETTER not to get hit in the first place.  Note: some of the descriptions and photos in the story are not for the squeamish, so read with caution.
