Utah lightning strike kills 1 Scout, injures 3

[Sequoia]

SALT LAKE CITY — A bolt of lightning killed a 15-year-old Boy Scout and injured three others while they slept in a log shelter during a violent storm.

“There was a big flash and a big boom,” said Stephen Morris, a trauma surgeon at the University of Utah’s burn unit who was with the troop. “Somebody came running down the trails saying, ‘Help, we need help.’ ”

Morris said he tried in vain for 90 minutes to revive the boy, who had no heartbeat and wasn’t breathing.

Two of the injured boys were flown to the university’s burn unit. One boy was in good condition, and the family of the other asked that no information be released. A third boy was in fair condition at another hospital.

1. Some kind of negative karma being manifested on Scouts....

...it appears. Electrocutions of the five scout leaders last week. Then all those scouts who waited for hours in the heat for shrub to show up and never did, dozens were treated for heat stroke. Now, a 15 year old scout hit bu lightning in Utah. Is God trying to tell the scouts something? Like, don't become Bushitler's youth movement!
