News Link
Colorado is in the top 5 for both number and per capita. In Colorado, the number of people struck by lightning that survive is 4 to 5 times the number of fatalities. In just the past week, 3 people have been killed and 8 injured by lightning strikes. 40 people have been struck by lightning in Colorado this year, the most ever in a year with a month of lightning weather left to go.  The previous record was 34 in 2004.
