[October 04, 2008]  BARKER, N.Y. (AP) -- Authorities say a man filling up his truck at an upstate New York gas station was struck by lightning but survived with barely a scratch.

CivicA surveillance camera at the K&K Food Mart in Barker shows the lightning bolt hitting the parking lot in a burst of smoke and orange light Wednesday. Forty-four-year-old William Hall is shown on the damp concrete near his pickup.

Hall says he was unconscious for about five minutes but felt the current travel through him before he passed out. His muscles are sore and he has slight blistering, but he says otherwise he feels fine.
