Thomas Fahmy was walking out of his home on the way to a dentist appointment when the lightning struck his foot.
"Once the lightning bolt struck me, the initial sensations that I had throughout my whole body were like completely unprecedented, tingling, numbness, pain, just I feel this burning sensation," he said.
