The one that's really weird is that he got hit in his car once, which hardly ever happens because the lightning hits the car body and is conducted away. Being in a car is one of the safest places during a lightning storm so long as you don't touch any exposed metal. But in his case, the lightning hit a tree and then jumped in through an open window!

I reckon he pissed off Thor.

...Roy Sullivan, I just googled....

‘Although he never was a fearful man, after the fourth strike he began to believe that some force was trying to destroy him and he acquired a fear of death. For months, whenever he was caught in a storm while driving his truck, he would pull over and lie down on the front seat until the storm passed. He also began to believe that he would somehow attract lightning even if he stood in a crowd of people, and carried a can of water with him in case his hair was set on fire’

...and he was still struck 3 more times ...with all of the precautions that he took...yeah, he really must have thought that God was gonna get him, poor guy...
