Lightning strikes are responsible for killing over 9,000 people in the last 50 years. Predominately they occur in males, 84% of the time. The reasons are, some people believe, that males may take more risks, or they don't come in the midst of a game or something, moreso than females. Another interesting statistic is that most lightning strikes occur in July throughout the country and they usually occur on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays, between 2pm and 6pm. Usually that's afternoon storms during the summer on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays for how various holidays fall on. But over the last 50 years, that time period has become the most dangerous and the most likely time that you will die from a lightning strike while outdoors.
