The incident occurred in Valdez Chico, near Montevideo, Uruguay.    In September, 53 cattle were killed by lightning in Katosi, Uganda. They had    been seeking shelter underneath trees, according to local reports.    Lightning hits the earth an average 100 times per second, or 8.6 million times    a day.    Each spark of lightning can reach over five miles in length, soar to    temperatures of approximately 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and contain 100    million electrical volts.    Weather officials estimate the United States alone receives up to 20 million    lightning strikes per year from as many as 100,000 thunderstorms.   The odds of being struck by lightning are approximately 1 in 576,000 and the    chance of actually being killed by lightning is about 1 in 2,320,000.   However, experts say working or playing in open fields; boating, fishing, and    swimming; working on heavy farm or road equipment; playing golf; taking a    shower; talking on a conventional telephone; and repairing or using    electrical appliances are all activities that should be avoided during    storms.</blockquote>
