LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) - A lightning strike on a fishing boat killed one man
and injured another. State wildlife agents say Saturday's strike on Old
Black Bayou near Lake Charles killed 44-year-old Joe Landry. He was
pronounced dead at the scene. His fishing partner - Richard Bergeron of Lake
Charles- was treated and released later Saturday from a hospital.
Investigators say the two were attempting to pick up anchor and retreat from
a small storm when lightning hit.
