Lightning strokes could stimulate people’s brains and cause them to hallucinate bright blobs of light the same way a medical procedure that applies magnetic fields to the brain does, two physicists propose.

As a psychiatrist I ca tell you that lightning strokes could stimulate people’s brains and cause them to hallucinate bright blobs of light the same way a medical procedure that applies magnetic fields to the brain does, two physicists propose.

Interesting how her recollections were so vivid and the experts should learn something from her experience when it comes to brain injury.

The report said the victim had burns. I thought those were rare since the strike is so brief. I know many non-direct strike victims aren’t believed by their doctors because there’s often no visible injuries. Anyway, glad to hear she survived and recoverd from a direct hit.

“The sky was clear and sunny” note to hikers: dark fluffy clouds plus sun = a destabilized atmosphere. I’ve seen (on video) 2 people killed by lightning and both times the sun was out.

And don’t carry your cell phone in your pocket unless you enjoy being splashed by battery acid.
