GRAND ISLE, Maine For Carl Bouley, lightning apparently does strike twice.
On Wednesday evening, the 16-year-old Madawaska High School junior was in the right place at the right time to capture on video lightning striking a Grand Isle church steeple.
In 2007, on my birthday, it was hit by lightning, too, Bouley said Thursday morning. When I saw the conditions with the atmosphere were the same yesterday, I figured, Why not try to record it [and] if it happens, it happens.
It most certainly did happen.

CORRECTION:
An earlier version of the story indicated Dave Guthro said the churches do not have lightning rods. He actually did state that they do.
