Exactly what happens when you get struck by lightning and how it feels

"'You still look the same and everything else, but it's like a different person inside,' he told the magazine."

"Mr Reynolds recalled being unable to move from his bed for months after the surge due to the agonising pain it left him in."

"He had woken up at around 2am with a pulsing headache next to his open bedroom window when he felt a surge go through his hand, half of which immediately turned bright red."

"This meant his condition quickly deteriorated and he was left feeling dizzy and unable to grip - which impacted his ability to hold a chainsaw at work."

Gary Reynolds, a lumberyard worker, has been struck by lightning four times, experiencing severe physical and emotional trauma. His first strike occurred in 2007, leaving him bedridden for months with agonizing pain and cognitive difficulties. Diagnosed with PTSD, he was struck again just 11 months later, compounding his challenges. The strikes have significantly impacted his work and family life, leaving him with lasting effects that make simple tasks difficult.
