I've seen a guy get hit by lightning. It was on Daytona Beach. One not too large cloud rolled in from over the ocean. The first lightning strike hit a guy about 75 yards from me. He dropped like a rock & never moved after that. He was picked up by an ambulance within a few minutes. My guess is that he died immediately.

Of course, I'm pretty wary of lightning. But, I commute to work most days on a bicycle & don't check weather reports. And this time of year in Florida, there is rain & lightning storms almost every day.
