A lightning strike killed 17 people on Saturday in the northeastern Indian state of Bihar, according to its Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar.
In the state of Meghalaya, which borders Bangladesh to the south, at least 24 people have died since June 9 and three are missing, according to R. Lyngdoh, a senior official in Meghalaya's State Disaster Management Authority.

I have been to the Bihar State in India but I can't imagine how 17 people could die from the same lightning strike!
I knew friend who at one time was a girlfriend before I married who was carrying an umbrella to keep the rain off her and lightning struck her and went unconscious. I also think it shortened her life as well as she passed away in her early 60s.
