webfact Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Lightning kills 8 cows in Roi Et, sends herdsman to hospital By The Nation A lightning strike killed eight cows and dispatched its herdsman to hospital in Roi Et’s Suwannaphum district yesterday (May 25). Another herdsman, Adisorn Pittangthane, 23, was trying to find cover after a storm slammed the district when he heard deafening lightning nearby. Looking to identify the area struck by lightning, he spotted Chalerm Sangkasing, 71, lying down next to his dead cattle. Adisorn tried to administer CPR to the elderly man then sent him to hospital. Chalerm, who has now recovered in Kaset Wisai Hospital, said through red eyes that he felt “deafened” and has been hit by a “headache”. Each of the dead cows were worth Bt30,000-Bt50,000, with their total worth being put at Bt300,000 as they were high-bred cattle. Their carcasses, however, went for an unspecified “cheap” price.

Perhaps they weren't all at exactly the same spot when it hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean horses would get away with it too - wearing horse shoes? I thought his name was Rod - 'hey, it's lightning, Rod.' Or was it because he was just so fast at running after those cows - there goes Lightning Road again.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tso310 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 The cows were obviously using their mobile phones at the time. Probably Huawei. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they weren't all at exactly the same spot when it hit? They were holding hooves when the first cow was hit and the herdsman was at the end of the line so got less charge. Only possible logical explanation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
