Friday the 13th Bad Day for 13-Year-Old

A 13th year old boy was strike by a lightning on friday the 13th at 13:13 (1:13 p.m.).

The 13 year old boy was at Lowestoft Seafront Air Festival in the England city of Suffolk on Friday when he was hit by lightning.A St. John Ambulance team leader said that Suddenly there was this huge crack of lightning really close to the seafront and really loud thunder.Seconds later we got a call someone had been hit. The boy was breathing and was conscious.The doctorsaid the boy had a minor burn on his shoulder and will recover fully.I think its very strange that he was 13, and it happened at 13:13 on Friday 13.


The doctor said that the biggest risk of a lightning strike is that it could stop the heart and breathing.Also the doctor said in a situation when a lightning strink's some one the best thing is to start CPR immediately and call for am ambulance.The best thing to do after a lightning stikes is to
move away from the area immediately if the person can walk because lightning can strike in the same place.

I think friday the 13th is not a bad luck day for any one or any body that is 13th years old.I think its just a regular day, but people belive that we have to becarefull that day were and when we are out side of home.Also i think that there are people that act very stupid and can be dangerous on friday the 13th. To some people friday the 13th is a bad luck day and to others is a regular day.

The United States has averaged 58 reported lightning fatalities each year for the past 30 years. Only about 10 percent of people struck are killed while the rest are left with different degrees of disability. According to the weather forcast people a thunder comes from the ground.Thats why is not good to stand under a tree during a thunder storm.
