'Freak' lightning strike kills builder

Bricklayer Justin Feber was on his lunch break when he was struck dead by a bolt from the blue.
Colleagues reported seeing a flash and hearing a loud bang after a storm has appeared overhead within moments. The incredibly rare accident is literally a 1 in 10 million occurance, a tragic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. In the UK only five people a year on average are killed by lightning strikes.
A father-of-one has been killed after being hit by a bolt of lightning while drinking a cup of tea in a 'freak' one in ten million accident.

Poor guy. I can't imagine he ever felt anything. Here one moment and gone the next. In Alabama we average almost 2 deaths per year over any decade. Summer is serious down here. Very hot and incredibly humid for about six months of the year. When the lightning starts, I head for shelter.
