Lightning Strikes Oklahoma Man For Fourth Time
<snip>

NOBLE, Okla. -- Four strikes and an Oklahoma man still isn't out.

Carl Mize was hit by lightning in storms Aug. 5. But the electrical jolt is nothing new for him. This is the fourth time he's been struck.

He was working with a crew on the University of Oklahoma campus, when they saw storms approaching. A co-worker familiar with his history retreated, saying "I'm getting away from you." The bolt struck soon after that.

Mize spent four days at Norman Regional Hospital and he's well on the road to recovery. Other than complicating his heart condition and numbing his toes, Mize apparently is fine.

3. One of my dad's golfing buddies
has been hit at least once by lightening and lived to tell. They don't golf with him anymore. He's dangerous.
