Cows killed by lightning strike

Cows killed by lightning strike



A lightning strike killed 16 cows which were sheltering from a storm in a field in East Lothian.

A neighbour saw one of the animals being struck as they stood under a tree at Saltoun House Farm, Pencaitland, on Sunday.

It is thought that the lightning conducted through a puddle to kill the other cows.
Farm manager Jim McDougal told the BBC Scotland news website he had been "very upset" by the "freak act of nature".


Lightning Bolt = Zeus/Jupiter, Cow = Io (one of Jupiter's moons).
