The chances of being struck by lightning are about one in three million
according to the Meteorological Office, UK, higher than your chances of
winning the jackpot in the Lotto, which is one in 14 million!
A flash of lightning illuminates the sky over the 2,500-year-old Ancient
Parthenon temple, at the Acropolis hill during heavy rainfall in Athens,
Greece. We wonder why the strike missed the top of
the Parthenon.

Volcanic lightning bolts form in the ash plume during the eruption of the
volcano in southern Chile.
A weird story happened to a Bulgarian woman, Martha Maiko. In 1935, an
American tourist, Randolph Eastman, during a thunderstorm asked to stay in
her house until the storm ended. A week later they were married, but months
later the man was killed by lightning.
Later Maiko remarried, this time to a Frenchman named Charles Mort.
During their trip to Spain her second husband also was struck by lightning.
The widow returned to Sofia and started therapy to recover from depression.
Time passed and she married the doctor from whom she was receiving the
treatment. They were married in Berlin, but during a trip to France a
lightning bolt hit the car they were driving. The third husband was killed
on the spot.
As far as we are able to ascertain she was not married for a fourth time.
