SENECA, S.C. -- An Upstate man has again disproved the old adage about lightning never striking the same place twice after being struck for the sixth time on Monday.
Melvin Roberts, 58, is recovering at Oconee Memorial Hospital after being struck at his home on Deer Park Drive in Seneca on Monday.
His wife, Martha Roberts, said that her husband was outside trying to cover his lawn mower when he was struck. Neighbors found Roberts lying unconscious in the yard

Lightning strike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaU.S. National Park Ranger Roy Sullivan has the record for being struck by lightning the most times. Sullivan was struck eight times during his 35 year career. He lost the nail on one of his big toes, and suffered multiple injuries to the rest of his body.
Then there is this record for cows...
http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/...ning/62662.htmThe largest recorded number of livestock killed by a single bolt of lightning is 68. The Jersey cows were sheltering under a tree at Warwick Marks' dairy farm near Dorrigo, New South Wales, Australia, on 31 October 2005.

None. If you get hit by the main, you're cooked. Originally Posted by SOUL-DRIFTER
