June 19,2008: Lightning killed 5 cows in South Melville, PE. The electric current first hit nearby trees then jumped to the animals. The damage could have been worse with 20 or 30 cows commonly gathering together during foul weather The farmer suffered an emotional as well as financial hit: he had milked some of the cows for more than 20 years.
