Jerry LeDoux was struck in August 1999. He was standing ankle-deep in a puddle when he was overcome by an intensely bright light. He woke up a half-hour later, 20 feet away, reporting that he had the taste of battery acid in his mouth. The soles of his shoes had melted, his two-way radio had exploded, and several of his teeth had shattered. The medical ID tag he wore around his neck was melted into his chest. He drove home from work that afternoon and was back on the job the next day. A trooper.
Renee Tressler reports that the sky turned a greenish, poisonous-looking color. She was in her car driving to work, in a hurry because she was running late and she opened the window to dry her hair. The lightning struck her without warning "like a jack hammer hitting my teeth," she stated, "It was the loudest bang I've ever heard." Tressler, a former medical technician, has had trouble concentrating ever since, and her right lower leg is shrinking.
