An Ohio golfer expressed gratitude after surviving a lightning strike during a stormy game last week. While attempting to film a stuck golf cart, lightning struck him.
The video begins with the golfer laughing at his friends’ efforts to move a golf cart up a small slope. Despite their struggles, the cart even rolls backward. Suddenly, the scene changes dramatically with a flash of lightning.
Lightning struck the golfer who was filming under a tree while holding an umbrella. The video captures a loud bang, ending with a bright flash. This illustrates safety mistakes to avoid.
According to meteorologist Matt Devitt, the golfer sustained a lightning strike on his arm. Thankfully, his injuries are non-life-threatening, and he is recovering.
Devitt shared crucial advice: “Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!” His message underscores the importance of seeking shelter away from trees and open areas during storms.
The incident highlights that lightning strikes don’t grant superpowers. However, this golfer’s survival allows him to share his remarkable story with others.
Sean Joseph, a writer for OutKick, reported on the incident.
