[TowerTalk] Lightning resuscitation

[Tom Champlin]

Forgive my ignorance Yuri, but I thought Catholic priests were not allowed 
to marry. Isnt it possible that your father may have invoked a higher power 
to necessitate the two people? I don't believe that the human body can hold 
a charge after being hit by lightning, but I do believe that one could be 
temporarily paralyzed. The The actor in "The Passion of the Christ" was hit 
by lightning during the filming and recovered just fine. I saw a documentary 
which pointed out that many people are permanently disabled or in nursing 
homes after a hit. I used to cringe every time I was outside driving the 
riding mower under the tower in the spring and it would suddenly get dark, 
cloudy, and a cool wind would pick up and I would hear a loud clap of 
thunder. I finished in a hurry!

73, Tom W0HH
