Man struck by lightning - twice

HAMLIN, Pa. (AP) - Lightning can strike twice. Just ask Don Frick.

Frick said he survived his second lightning strike Friday - 27 years to the day of his first - and emerged a bit shaken with only a burned zipper and a hole in the back of his jeans.

''I'm lucky I'm alive,'' Frick told The Associated Press..

Frick was attending Hamlin's Ole Tyme Daz festival on Friday when a storm came up.

Twenty-seven years earlier, Frick was driving a tractortrailer in Lenox, Pa., when the antenna was struck by lightning, he said.
