It was a drizzly January morning, but James Church went out anyway. The 55-year-old was eager to get in some fishing as an antidote to a hard week of work. He cast back his pole and let loose the line and sinker. Then, he saw lightning on the horizon. A bolt struck. He remembers a deafening boom and a flash so bright he felt his eyes burn. ⚡ In a state that counts alligators, sharks and hurricanes among its many dangers, add lightning. Florida has more #lightning than any other state in the country (20.8 strikes per square mile) and the most people who die from lightning (54 since 2007). Unlike other states, Florida has all-season thunderstorms, which peak during summer. It also has an outsize number of boaters, beachgoers, fishing enthusiasts and golfers. Lightning likes to strike the tallest thing around. Sometimes it’s a tree; sometimes it’s a human. ⚡ After James was struck, woke up 6 feet away. He felt paralyzed. He knew he had to reach his cellphone to get help but it was locked in his tackle box. “My will to survive kicked in,” said James, who was photographed by @scottymacphoto.
