The strike missed him by less than 5M accord to him. He had irregular heart rate for a day, ringing in the ears, tingling, transient numbness and an assortment of other symptoms. He describes as somewhat similar to a concussion with additional benefits. He was very lucky. He said he should buy some lottery tickets. I told him he should buy some bus tickets.
