Incredibly unlucky…or incredibly lucky? A man in China was struck by lightning not once, but twice recently in less than five minutes. Liu Nan was outside his home in China’s Guizhou Province during a thunderstorm last month, when he got knocked out by a bolt of lightning. And to make matters more extraordinary, he barely had time to register what happened before it happened again.
The man was taken to the hospital where doctors confirmed the strikes. He also ended up with third-degree burns on his waist, feet and backside. Though his burns have yet to heal, Nan’s condition is now stable, and he considers himself incredibly lucky to be alive. Fun fact: The chances of getting struck by lightning twice are one in 9 million.
