Guess they dont do the 10-mile rule there. Seems like it should be easy to avoid this...

The weather conditions should have deterred them from being in a middle of a field playing soccer.

This makes those lightning delays that everyone loves to bitch about seem not so bad.

Did it strike the sprinkler system? I remember a while back that happened in Texas IIRC and I think that’s why we started evacuating fields when there was lightning in the area at sporting events.

How often do we bitch when CFB or NFL games are in a lightning delay for a storm miles and miles away?

Anyone who bitches about lightning delays during sporting events here in The States should be shown this video. This is what can happen when you don't take this threat seriously.

Also more proof that when it's your time, it's your time.

Who would have thought you could get struck by lightening in a rain storm.

I was at Clemson soccer camp one summer. Coaches saw lighting and told us to pack it up for the morning. As we walked over to our bags to take cleats off and stuff, lightning struck the goal post of the goal we were just shooting on. When I snapped out of it, I was laying on the ground, and the coaches were just screaming to run and leave your stuff. So, I just got up and booked it to the nearest building.


Just heard a crack and blacked out for a second.

What if it was the first strike of the storm?

Now, that explains a lot. I wasn't expecting an origins story in this thread.

My grandad saw a guy hit by a direct strike when he was in college and he always told the story that they found pieces of the guy all over that section of campus
