August Hellman of Arkansas has been struck twice.
The first strike was while he was baling hay in 1959.
The second strike was while sailing on Savannah Bay in 1977.
In both cases, August said the storm advanced on him quickly and left him nowhere to hide. He reported that, just before the strikes, his hair stood on end, the baling wire and sailboat mast made a "crinkling" sound, and he noticed a strong smell of ozone.
August reported having had a sense of impending doom just before being hit in each case. This was followed by an earsplitting noise and a few seconds of lost time.
