Jun 20, 2024 | wbko.com | David Wolter

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - One in 15,300, those are the odds of being struck by lightning in your lifetime. While the chances seem low, for those who become part of the statistics, everything changes. Survivor Danny Devine said it was just a small cloud in the sky. “I walked in the garage reached up and grabbed the door and that was the last thing I remembered until I woke up in the hospital.”A lightning flash may only last a few fractions of a second, but the impacts are permanent.
