When I was in my twenties I met a guy about 23 years old from Connecticut who had been struck by lightning three times. He showed me the scars. Turned out his father had also been struck by lightning which crippled him. A few years after lightning struck his father he was shooting craps behind the ice house when the cops showed up. His father got out of his wheelchair and tried to run away!

Maybe it runs in families?
