James Church described how lucky he was to be alive after being hit by lightning in Florida.

The American was fishing when the bolt struck the lead on his rod, went through his abdomen and “cooked his insides”.

He lost two fingers, most of his colon and much of his intestines.

The state is the lightning strike capital of the US, with 52 people killed there since 2007.
