Lightning and Your Safety | Lightning | CDC
Lightning can strike anyplace on Earth. In fact, there are about 6,000 lightning strikes every minute, which is more than 8 million strikes every day. About 40 million lightning strikes hit the ground in the United States each year. But the odds of being struck by lightning in a given year are less than one in a million, and almost 90% of all lightning strike victims survive. The odds of being struck multiple times is even less, with the record being seven times in one lifetime.
- From 2006 through 2021, there were 444 lightning strike deaths in the United States.
- Males are four times more likely than females to be struck by lightning.
- The average age of a person struck by lightning is 37 years.
- About one-third of lightning injuries occur indoors.
