Lightning Strike, Dentist Appointment | Portland Maine News

Lightning struck Thomas Fahmy on his way to the dentist—caught on camera, he crashed hard and screamed for help. Though he felt intense burning and numbness in his feet, he walked away with no major injuries or burns. His boss, Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, praised the neighbor who rushed to his aid and the hospital staff. Fahmy now sees life differently—appreciating small joys like fresh air and smiles. And hey, after surviving a bolt of lightning? He bought a Mega Millions ticket.
