Man shocked by lightning strike through video game controller

“A man suffered an apparent shock through a video game controller after a lightning strike in Robertson County [in Tennessee]. A storm report from the National Weather Service began circulating on social media late Saturday night into early Sunday morning, stating the man ‘was reportedly struck by lightning inside his home through a videogame controller.'”

“Josh Rice, the Assistant Director of Robertson County Emergency Medical Services told News 2 that medics had responded around 9:15 p.m. Saturday to a call of a man struck by lightning in Greenbrier. When crews arrived, they said they determined the man’s house was either hit, or the lightning struck nearby, and he suffered a shock through a video game controller. Rice said the man wanted to be checked out to make sure he was not injured” WKRN reports.

The linked article does not specify which brand of video game console the guy was playing with, though text of it might throw one off because the word “NES” appears twice in the links to other articles between paragraphs. This is not referring to “Nintendo Entertainment System” but “Nashville Electric Service”, the power utility serving Nashville and the surrounding region of Tennessee. There is no “Super Nashville Electric Service” to our knowledge.
