Man succumbs to lightning during a storm while attending to his dog outside.
In the metropolitan area of Florence, Italy, a tragic incident occurred last week involving a 65-year-old man named Lorenzo Sestini. According to local media reports, the man was outside feeding his dog during a storm when he was struck by lightning.
The lightning is believed to have first struck a clothesline, bouncing off and landing on a metal dog bowl before reaching Mr. Sestini. He was holding an umbrella at the time, but still suffered a slight shock. A neighbor found his body lying on the ground shortly after the storm.
Despite the woman raising an alarm and calling emergency services, they were unable to save Mr. Sestini's life. The man's death was caused by being struck by lightning.
It's important to note that this is not an isolated incident in Italy. Another electrocution incident occurred last Friday, involving meteorologist Lorenzo Sestini. Details about his condition are not currently available.
This article reports on two electrocution incidents in Italy in recent days. However, there is no information in the search results about a meteorologist in Italy recently injured while going out into his garden during a storm to check on his cat.
These incidents serve as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by stormy weather. It's crucial to take precautions during such times, especially when venturing outside.
