Did you know that lightning can jump from a tree to a human?


16 y/o Robert Byrd from Alabama was killed after LIGHTNING struck a Tree outside his home and JUMPED from the tree and into the Porch where he was standing on just as he exited the house to see the strike!!

The Coroner said that he stepped out of the porch of his home when lightning struck that ran through a tree and then jumped to the teen going through his body and exiting his foot to the ground...

Emergency Responders worked on him for 15-20 minutes before taking him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead..

He was a sophomore at Cottonwood High School who lived with his mother and 2 brothers...

The family is asking for prayers as a GoFundMe page was launched appealing for donations to help with funeral expenses..

The odds of being struck by lightning is 1 in 1,083,000 in a given year as 47 people have been killed in the last 30 years because of it..

Did you know that lightning can jump from a tree to a human?
