Inside the hidden society of lightning strike survivors

After getting hit, they suffered devastating symptoms that wouldn't go away. It seemed no one could help - until they found each other

The Jack Britt high school girls' soccer team was playing on a muggy evening in Fayetteville, North Carolina, when the sky grew dark. It was 30 September 2015. Shana Williams Turner, a 46-year-old teacher in the school's special education department, was supervising. She watched as the weather started to turn.

Thunder rumbled above, each clap bringing lightning closer. Shana saw a lightning bolt hit a grocery store across the street. Scared, she and the choir teacher, Richard Butler, ran to a nearby ticket booth to find shelter.
