Had that happen to a client of mine up the Caprivi strip in Namibia.
Just pulled into camp and told them to get there tents up quick smart as there was a big tropical storm coming our way.
This young English guy was mucking around so some one was giving him a hand.
I'd gone to the bar and was sitting having a beer.
Storm hits us with a Big Bang and lots of rain.
Next minute these to come running in asking for the first aid kit and a new tent?
The lighting had hit one of the poles run across the ground and then hit him, he had been just about to bang in a tent peg.
Tent was fobar floor melted out sleeping bag also a gonna and the client.....had a perfect tent peg shape burnt into his palm reminded me of the Nazi out of Indiana Jones other wise he was ok, bloody lucky.
Boss never beloved me till I showed him a photo of the guys hand I'll see if I can find it
