| event_narrative | A marathon swimmer on a 2,340-mile journey down the length of the Mississippi River was struck by lightning. About 3 miles north of Cape Girardeau, lightning struck a buoy that was about 3 feet from the swimmer. He was knocked several feet away. His nearby support crew, paddling in kayaks, reported their hair standing on end moments before the lightning strike. Nobody required treatment for any injuries. The swimmer and his crew continued with a scheduled stop in Cape Girardeau and then proceeded downriver. |
