Marina Motygina of Ekaterinburg in Russian Urals region just got out of the water when she got hit by a lightning. Marina survived, but her gold cross pendant on a chain melted and evaporated from her neck:
The lightning struck Marina in the temple, went down through the body and left it near the navel. The gold cross and chain she had been wearing, a Christian symbol, melted and evaporated, leaving deep burns on her neck and chest. ...
She is still in the hospital, because the deep burns on her neck need constant attendance. The marks will remain on Marina’s neck forever.
As if that's not weird enough:
“Marina is fine, even her heart is working perfectly well, though usually when a person is struck by lightning, the heart stops immediately. It’s a really unique case. There are only a few people who survived a lightning strike, and most of them develop telepathic or psychic abilities,” says her doctor.
I predict that he is a crap doctor, where do I claim my prize?
People get hit by lightning all the time.
I know a guy it has happened to twice.(florida park ranger)
Also: most people who are exposed to high levels of radiation (Radiationski) develop super powers. My Uncle Vanya says that this is so.
