More Proof That Nothing is Tougher than a U.S. Marine

My brother in law, a retired first sergeant from the Marine Corps, was struck by lightning this week while taking a business call on a landline during a North Carolina thunderstorm.

Incredibly, although the bolt knocked him to his knees, and his coworkers saw sparks emanating from his fingertips, he is fine. He said it hurt, and he felt weird for 20 minutes afterwards, but then he felt fine after that and just went about his business. He did not seek any medical attention. He does not seem to have any burns, paralysis, deafness, nothing. Amazing.
