"Always a threat here, the lightning"
Now I'm no lightning expert, but if lightning is that much of a threat aren't there things you can do? Like lightning rods or such?
Also where do you get the 11 dead from?

Here is article
"World: Africa
Lightning kills football team
Lightning also struck a match in South Africa
All 11 members of a football team were killed by a bolt of lightning which left the other team unhurt, a Congolese newspaper has reported.
Thirty other people received burns at the match in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Kinshasa daily newspaper L'Avenir said local opinion - known to believe in charms and spells - was divided over whether someone had cursed the team.
The two sides were drawing 1-1 in the match in eastern Kasai Province when the lightning struck the visiting team.
"The athletes from [the home team] Basanga curiously came out of this catastrophe unscathed," the paper said.
There was no official confirmation of the report - a rebel war affects much of the east of the country.
The first strike
In a similar incident at the weekend, a premier league soccer match in Johannesburg was brought to an abrupt end when lightning struck the ground.
Half the players from both teams - the Jomo Cosmos and the Moroka Swallows - dropped to the turf.
Several writhed on the grass holding their ears and their eyes. Spectators and coaching staff ran onto the pitch to help. Fortunately no-one was killed"

Go down to the basement or where ever your fuse Box is located, take off the panel and touch the copper under the fuses and you will see!

Re: Lightning kills 11 players
They appeared to be moving and responsive in that video....so I'm assuming they died at some later date from the attack?

i don't really believe it... i don't even see 11 players down in that videos...but then as McLewis said it could be afterwards
"Only 10 percent of people struck by lightning die, however, most survivors do suffer lifelong severe medical problems such as memory loss, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, sleep dysfunction, attention deficit and irritability"
