What are the odds of getting struck by lightning 7 times in your life and living to tell the tale?

My wife's grandfather was hit two (or maybe three, I'm not sure) times, and lived many years longer. He was around 6'5\"... maybe that had something to do with it?

(And if so, does that mean I, at 6'4\", should worry?)

Sad, he comitted suicide. He might have been depressed/paranoid about being stuck by lightning 7 times though...

All those joules can't be good for brain chemistry. I knew a kid struck by lightning twice who couldn't keep out of trouble.
