As a lightning strike survivor. I'd also like to add the intense fear of thunderstorms to the list of after effects. Like panic attack call into work and hide in your closet extreme fear. I have burst into tears when someone mentions there may be a thunderstorm. I have very few lasting affects 3 years later but oddly and thankfully prior to my lightning incident (ground strike that threw me 20ft into a intersection during traffic) I had a heart murmur. After no one can find any sign of it

If you interested I've read up in this fellow a few times already. Roy Sullivan (The 7 strikes) 1->The first documented lightning strike of Sullivan occurred in April 1942. He was hiding from a thunderstorm in a fire lookout tower. The tower was newly built and had no lightning rod at the time; it was hit seven or eight times. Inside the tower, "fire was jumping all over the place". Sullivan ran out and just a few feet away received what he considered to be his worst lightning strike. It burned a half-inch strip all along his right leg, hit his toe, and left a hole in his shoe. 2->He was hit again in July 1969. Unusually, he was hit while in his truck, driving on a mountain road-the metal body of a vehicle normally protects people in cases such as this by acting as a Faraday cage. The lightning first hit nearby trees and was deflected into the open window of the truck. The strike knocked Sullivan unconscious and burned off his eyebrows, eyelashes, and most of his hair. The uncontrolled truck kept moving until it stopped near a cliff edge. 3->In 1970, Sullivan was struck while in his front yard. The lightning hit a nearby power transformer and from there jumped to his left shoulder, searing it. 4->In 1972, Sullivan was working inside a ranger station in Shenandoah National Park when another strike occurred. It set his hair on fire; he tried to smother the flames with his jacket. He then rushed to the restroom, but couldn't fit under the water tap and so used a wet towel instead. Although he never was a fearful man, after the fourth strike he began to believe that some force was trying to destroy him and he acquired a fear of death. For months, whenever he was caught in a storm while driving his truck, he would pull over and lie down on the front seat until the storm passed. He also began to carry a can of water with him and believed that he would somehow attract lightning even if he stood in a crowd of people. 5->On August 7, 1973, while he was out on patrol in the park, Sullivan saw a storm cloud forming and drove away quickly. But the cloud, he said later, seemed to be following him. When he finally thought he had outrun it, he decided it was safe to leave his truck. Soon after, he was struck by a lightning bolt. Sullivan stated that he actually saw the bolt that hit him. The lightning set his hair on fire, moved down his left arm and left leg and knocked off his shoe, although it did not untie the lace. It then crossed over to his right leg just below the knee. Still conscious, Sullivan crawled to his truck and poured the can of water, which he always kept there, over his head. 6->The next strike, on June 5, 1976, injured his ankle. It was reported that he saw a cloud, thought that it was following him, tried to run away, but was struck anyway. 7->On Saturday morning, June 25, 1977, Sullivan was struck while fishing in a freshwater pool. The lightning hit the top of his head, singed his hair, traveled down, and burnt his chest and stomach. Sullivan turned to his car when something unexpected occurred - a bear approached the pond and tried to steal trout from his fishing line. Sullivan had the strength and courage to strike the bear with a tree branch. He claimed that this was the twenty-second time he hit a bear with a stick in his lifetime. He was avoided by people later in life because of their fear of being hit by lightning, and this saddened him. He once recalled "For instance, I was walking with the Chief Ranger one day when lightning struck way off. The Chief said, 'I'll see you later." and quickly walked away. His wife also left him after she was hit a second time by lightning. On September 28, 1983, Sullivan died at the age of 71 from self-inflicted gunshot wound in the stomach. The odds of being struck by lightning for a person over the period of 80 years have been roughly estimated as 1:10000.[9] If the lightning strikes were independent events, the probability of being hit seven times would be 1:100007 = 1:1028

I got hit by side splash lightning about 2 years ago when walking to the store. It was a nice rainy day and I was just minding my business, umbrella up - no hint of thunder - it wasn't even forecasted. Just "boom!" like a camera flash in my eye and the thunder was like a shotgun. I remember stiffening up and the umbrella fell out of my hand. At first I couldn't feel my legs from my feet to a little over my knees, and my left arm went numb -I picked up my umbrella and forced myself to run at that point, as I was walking down a strip of the road where there's a cluster of electrical towers and didn't want to get hit again. If you've ever experienced a "charlie horse" and/or got hit in the funny bone - and if you've ever had your legs "fall asleep - combine those two sensations together and magnify it. That's what side splash felt like. It was scary, but also kinda cool -in a disturbing way.

Wow. I experienced a lightning strike that defied all expectations. It hit about a meter or two in front of me. There was no large bang and I did not feel any electrical shock. I reacted like you would to a jump scare by jumping back and stiffening up. But I did not feel any pain or anything else that is typical for an electrical shock. All I could hear was this thump like sound when the white/blue glowing beam hit the ground followed by the sound of pebbles hitting the ground. There was also this white/blue glowing mini shock wave that formed from where the lightning hit the ground.

Ironic how I'm scared of lightning yet feels fascinated by it every time. ^^

7!! 7 freaking lighting strikes!!! i would have locked myself in my house and never came out after 2

My dad was indirectly struck by lighting about a year ago. He was coming in from the car to the house when it was storming, and his foot was in a puddle when lightning struck pretty close to him. Luckily the only thing he still has that was caused by that is a constant ring in his ears. P.S. I live in Alabama in a very rural area. :D

I think it's the extremely intense, damaging, and random aspects of the lightning that can cause depression, although it isn't a guarantee. It may damage the brain or how it functions due to how powerful the strike is, which then leads to symptoms of depression or simply depression itself.

I can tell you what happens when you're close as hell to a lightning strike. In my backyard we have a transformer (not megatron an electrical transformer) during a thunderstorm we did the old trick to see how close it was by counting the seconds from flash to sound. It was 1-2 seconds so it was in our neighborhood. Then a blinding flash of blue light, so bright it turned the entire inside of our house blue. What happens next is (what feels like) a powerful earthquake/shockwave violently shakes our house. Not a typical earthquake though, there was no tremor or build up... it went from normal to peak of tremor (I'd say a 5.0) at the same time the earthquake happens the loudest noise you could possibly imagine, a massive sonic boom of thunder. All this happened very very quickly. And the ground didn't shake for long. It was scary, such a sudden on come of sound and shaking scared the shit out of us, imagine one moment everything is normal and then suddenly without warning your entire room shifts. Our whole block was out of power for 5 days. I'm so happy I keep dogs inside, I know people that keep their dogs outside rain or shine and its just wrong to me. Had I been one of those people my dog would by dead, as the house was the reason we didn't get electrocuted (I think) or if not that, then the massive pool of water from the rain in our backyard would have been certain death because a cut cable was laying in it. Either way we all lived, the milk didn't. But despite this scare I still love lightning.

Lightning is probably my favorite environmental force of nature. Incredible power and energy at incredible distances and such speed that it's a common metaphor for speedy things. Its power is so downplayed in fiction, especially the long-term effects. I understand people not wanting to bother with personality changes in characters outside of major plot points, but even numbess or other nerve-related damage is often overlooked. Sometimes victims aren't even burned, which is probably the most absurd thing to ignore considering what's happening.

My dad was struck by lightening. He and his siblings were doing their chores on their farm. Their cows were hooked to milking machines. The lightening ricocheted off the central pole in the barn then struck him in the forehead. One of the cows were electrocuted by the milk machine and was thrown off the machine right over top of him as he lay on the dirt ground. His sister grabbed a towel off the clothesline but dropped it in the mud while running back to him. She used it on his head to stop the bleeding. The doctor said it was the mud that sealed the wound and prevented severe blood loss. He has a pretty awesome scar from it. I'm still amazed that he lived through it and that he's not afraid of storms.

My neighbor was struck by lightning. Now, he has an altered heartbeat. When he's hooked up to an EKG, the readings are upside down, as in what's supposed to point up points down and vice versa.

kind of morbid, but I had the sudden thought that if Roy Sullivan had been struck an eighth time (even number) he might not have killed himself. A bad application of the concept of ECT, but it just popped into my head. It is interesting that electricity to the brain can cause severe depression when applied willy-nilly, but can cure severe depression when applied strategically and medically.

Well, the boiling temp of water is 100 Celsius, so that means that when you are sweating, the surface of your skin is 100 degrees Celsius... But because the layer that's boiling is so thin, it doesn't feel that way.

Evaporation is when a liquid reaches its boiling point. At that point, a liquid becomes a gas. Temperature is constant during this change of state, as the intermolecular forces between particles begin to break apart. They are essentially different categories of the same thing depending on how you define boiling and evaporation. In both processes, the intermolecular forces are breaking apart.

he must've been one hell of a shot, sorry about the sorta pun, because lightning is extemely difficult to capture on film, unless you have a shutter delay that can expose the film over a longer period of time, and will capture the actual strike provided a strike happens to occur during the period you have the film exposed. pointing and shooting is unlikely to get a picture and thinking your reaction time can even compare is misguided. however, when you finally succeed in capturing lightning, it makes the trials and waiting quite worth it!

When I was a kid a bolt of lightning hit about 1 meter right in front of me. I did not experience any electrical shocks and I never heard a bang. Just remember a thump like sound as it hit the ground and pebbles falling to the ground afterwards. The thump sound kind of sound like you would you imagine futuristic beam weapon to sound like. It went quickly from a higher pitch sound to a more base like sound. What I saw was this quick white beam and a disk of white glowing plasma on the ground that formed with the strike and grew to a diameter of about a meter. Like a miniature glowing shock wave. It was one of the most beautiful and most terrifying things I have ever experienced.

I thought of that too! :D

My ex-husband got struck by lightning. He was under a roof with a light suspended from the center of the ceiling. The lightning came in through that. It entered his under his right shoulder blade and exited his left calf. The one thing that happened from it was that for a period of time he was able to read well and enjoyed it even though he was extremely dyslexic and before and after that period only read what he absolutely had to.

1:13: “celisus”‽ Come on, guys, you’re supposed to be some of the most reliable people on KZread!

I wonder what will happen, time to run in a storm while holding a giant metal rod.

Poor Roy Sulivan... He didn't have many friends after his third or fourth strike. People thought they would be struck if they stood too close to him. All glory to Roy Sulivan A.K.A "The Human Lightning Rod."

that was So Enlightening yet So mind boggling.

I was fishing on a pier on a mildly cloudy day; lightning struck my pole without warning, but it was an admittedly very small bolt. The electricity went down my pole and jumped into my abdomen. No scars, but the entry spot was very warm until I woke up the next day.

stupidpeoplecallmesmart Thank you. Wow! Fascinating! Was your pole metal? If fiberglass, its elelectrical resistance would be greater than the air. Your body certainly could have conducted a very weak current of lightning. Could you discern an exit point? Any redness on your abdomen?

now that you mention it, woah!!! I am totally googling that.

Some people that were deaf. Got their hearing back after being struck by lightning. Also some that were blind got there sight back. So amazing.

Once had lightening strike a tree I was standing right near. I later found out that a woman and several construction workers all got struck in different parts of town at the exact same time

a 300 kv burst of energy that heats the air 5 x hotter than the sun and most people survive. Damned if i know how that makes sense. Humans are amazing

Juli an *EXACTLY* What I thought how it's even possible to be alive after lightning struck you due to the fact that it's hotter than the sun some things won't make sense FR humans are amazing 💞

I Love Scishow so much it's not even funny thank you Hank Green for brightening my day everyday. It would mean so much if you could make a shoutout to GameFact in one of videos. Thank you so much

"5 times hotter than the surface of the friggin' sun" That made me burst in a laughter of joy and fear.

Lighting strike can also disrupt heartbeats leaving a lasting irregular heartbeat.

You just gotta remember that a human can survive a shock of way more than 700quadrillion volts if the amperage is low enough. If I'm not mistaken, voltage is like water pressure and amperage is like the measure of the volume of the water. You could have infinite water pressure shot at you and it would do very little damage. On the other hand, you could have water at static pressure (same pressure as the surroundings) and a very high volume of this water released quickly could tear you apart.

Fascinating stuff! I'm never leaving my house again! Yay!
