In 1975, brothers Michael and Sean McQuilken stood on Moro Rock when a storm rolled in. Their sister snapped a photo as their hair stood on end—an ominous sign of an intense electrical charge.
Seconds later, lightning struck the summit, knocking them down and setting Sean’s clothes on fire. Despite severe burns, both survived.
That photo became a powerful reminder of what danger looks like just before lightning hits.
