Have you ever wondered what would happen if struck by lightning while in a boat on the open water? It's amazing how much damage lighting can cause - but then again this is awesome power. It's a miracle one of the fisherman made it out alive.
"Flash" This is a great sharing that reinforces the need to stay aware of a
change of environment, especially when on the water boating.

A lightning strike on a fishing boat killed one man and injured another. State wildlife agents say Saturday's strike on Old Black Bayou near Lake Charles killed 44-year-old Joe Landry. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His fishing partner - Richard Bergeron of Lake Charles- was treated and released later Saturday from a hospital.
Investigators say the two were attempting to pick up anchor and retreat from a small storm when lightning hit.
