Summary
Lightning struck Thomas Fahmy, a staffer for Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, as he headed to his car on Staten Island—captured by a doorbell camera. He described intense burning followed by numbness and pain, screaming for help until a neighbor rushed to his aid. Though hospitalized, he suffered no visible injuries and was released the next day. His boss praised the quick responders, while Fahmy emerged with a profound appreciation for life—now taking time to breathe, smile, and even bought a Mega Millions ticket, convinced his luck had just begun.
