Who would have thought that the markings are only temporary?

PutterDutt

Thank you, treker. It's amazing what you folks can find while I'm laid out on the couch!

@PutterDutt, may I ask when this occurred and where? Thanks in advance.

klocowolf

Why Thank You PD.

My spouse said the same thing Once, or so. She then proceeded to lay into me for being so off-beat.
I still here it a lot.

PutterDutt

Thank you, trecker, for the research!

Mary! What an awful memory! Glad you're getting over it. Slow but sure! Hugs.

Klocowolf, now we know how you came to be so "original". :o)

Side note many survivors of these lightenings hits are very sensitive to currents. I've been told the amount of current in a 9 volt battery can kill them. That's what I heard.

When I was a young we were going to visit friends ( the fam damnly) and had to drive by a park. A guy was mowing the grounds on a tractor. A summer storm came up and he stopped under a tree. It was hit by lightening. The tractor blew up. It scared the ..... out of us. We read in the paper they buried a his foot. It was all they found.
I've had numerous incidents with electricity. Although respectful house current, it doesn't phase me. I'll grab a bare wire as long as it's dry. Commercial current, as in a business, bites but that's about it. Industrial no way.
I was about 11 and thrown across a room and half way up a flight of stairs repairing a fuse. I was wearing tennies and on a wooden ladder. Not hurt I got up repaired the fuse replaced it and went on. Oh I was ten at the time and my dad was sitting on the bottom steps. He was to stunned to say anything.
That following spring was another tale of woe regarding the power lines behind the house. They were repairing the main power line near a pole and the guy had a hole in one of his gloves. When he hit the ground he literally went poof.
I've seen these lightening markings on several people over the years. Some have no memory of the incident, others have nerve damage or are to burned to move well. I met a fellow in Albuquerque who had this entire pattern running from the top of his head to his feet on his back side. They were much darker he had a stutter and mild jerky movements but was in good shape considering he was hit on the top of his head.

To me it reminds me of tree leaves, very pretty. Lightning is so scary. When I was 4 years old in Alabama, I was standing next to my Dad when he was hit by lightning. He had something metal in his hand. It made a horrible impression on me and just in the last decade or so have I kind of lessened my fear. Thanks for posting. Mary

Known as a "Lichtenberg figure," for the German physicist who first described seeing a similar pattern while experimenting with static electricity, these reddish fern-leaf patterns are a skin reaction to a lightning strike.
These dramatic "keraunographic" marks are sometimes referred to as "lightning flowers" or "lightning trees." They tend to occur on the arms, back, neck, chest, or shoulders of lightning strike victims.

Thanks for the visit and comments, minipoo4u and Babchi. It is rather attractive!

Babchi

The scar is amazing! I'm so glad this man lived to tell about it. God sure has him here for a good reason.

minipooh4u

I'm very glad he survived but, actually, it is prettier than some tats I have seen. Thank you for posting this. I had no idea this could happen.

PutterDutt

LOL! Soooooo right, Heidi!

Something tells me that a tattoo would have been less traumatizing.

and it goes well with the paisley bed linen

PutterDutt

The thought of getting a tattoo leaves me cold, but this is pretty!

I didn't know that, ehes. Thanks.

Fortunately NOT tragic, donnacompton! The body looks fine.

A beautiful reminder of a tragic event.

PutterDutt

It's actually rather pretty!
