Important reading for adventurers, mountain hikers, or people who are in lightning prone areas. A thorough history of an extreme lightning incident and the rescuers efforts. I hope to never meet any of the persons involved in the incident.
I didn’t care for the writing style in the first part of the book. Too much rambling, back and forth, “character development “. We all have to do character development though, right?
I spend a lot of time in the Sierra, and especially Yosemite. I’m always surprised at the naivety of visitors in regards to personal safety. It’s 20 + degrees out at night, posted signs warn of the dangers of ice, but will people tred cautiously around waterfalls, on paved trails or granite that are slick with ice? No they won’t. I have a walking stick and it’s a curiosity. I know that the Yosemite medical clinic is very competent with orthopedic injuries. They will continue to receive clients.
I haven’t been in the park during lightning storms, but I do know a family who live ten miles away, who had three lightning strikes in one day, on their property.
I’m going to give the book to my friends who have a B&B near Yosemite. Maybe some of their guests might pick it up.
