Not everyone can survive the million volts and million amperes lightning arm… but this man still alive!

A fisherman cheated death when he luckily survived the lightning struck through to his forehead while gathering fish at a fishpond at barangay Pinipin, Santa Cruz, of this province.

A father of two, Larry Garnace, 43 years old, of barangay Nagtenga of this town, said he was lucky to have his second life.

During interview at their residence, he can’t yet stand still nor sit because he can still feel the shaking of his muscles and feeling weak.
