Storm Chaser Struck by Lightning, Survives, and Films It!

Storm chasers are no stranger to the dangers of Mother Nature.  Last year one chaser lost his life when a violent tornado southeast of El Reno, Oklahoma shifted it’s path, rolling the vehicle. But this week in South Dakota, chaser Scott Sheppard got a jolt he never saw coming, filmed it, and lived to tell the tail:

Sheppard said the bolt of lightning struck his arm and continued to the ground blowing a hole in the road.  He survived, but his car didn’t fair too well and had to be towed.
