St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - We're expecting thunderstorms in the St. Louis region over the weekend.

While you probably don't give a rumble of thunder a second thought, Nathan Loyet's story could forever change the way you think about dark storm clouds.

Loyet, 29, was struck by lightning when he was 13. He was holding onto the door knob, trying to close the door that led from the house to the garage, when the lightning bolt went through his right arm, across his chest, and out his left shoulder.
