Lightning strikes costing insurance companies

After floods, lightning is the most deadly storm-related incident with about 10 deaths a year and more than 150 injuries.

The most deadly month is July.

Most victims are children and young men aged 10 to 35. It’s also extremely expensive. According to State Farm, $137-million in claims was paid out in 2013 in North America.

Alberta had the third highest claim amounts in Canada, just shy of $60,000.

Ontario was first, New Brunswick was second.
