(AP Photo/Roswell Daily Record Marl Wilson) (Associated Press) A man celebrated the 27th anniversary of being struck by lightning with a second electrocution from above—and once again lived to tell the tale, the Guardian reports. The 68 year old was hiding from a Pennsylvania storm in a shed when he and four others were shocked by lightning; he had been hit at the age of 41 while driving a tractor-trailer. The two-time victim survived the latest electrocution with only a burned zipper and a hole in his jeans. An American who lives to age 80 has a 1 in 5000 chance of being struck by lightning; no statistics were available for a twice-in-a-lifetime experience.
