FIRMAN ALLAH

Dialah yang memperlihatkan kepada kamu kilat, untuk menimbulkan ketakutan dan keinginan dan Dialah yang menyusun awan yang berat.

Dan bertasbihlah petir dengan memujiNya, dan malaikat pun lantaran takut kepadaNya, dan Dia kirimkan halilintar (kilat) dan Dialah timpakan kepada barangsiapa yang Dia kehendaki, namun mereka masih membantah tentang Allah, padahal Dia adalah sangat pedih siksaan.
(Surah Ar Ra’ad :12-13)

KUALA TERENGGANU: An outing to lay a trap to catch eels ended in the death of one youth and serious injuries to three of his cousins when lightning struck a barn during a thunderstorm in Kampung Pak Katak, Batu Enam.

Police said Form Three student Mohd Zamaqusyairi Ismail, 15, died on the spot after suffering severe burns on his chest in the incident at the barn housing goats 4.10pm.

The deceased's three cousins Mohd Syawal Zakaria, 14, suffered serious burns to his leg, Khairi Fatullah Zaid, 20, was hurt on his head and with partial loss of eye-sight, while Samsul Mohd Nor, 32, was lucky to escape with minor burns.

According to Zamaqusyairi's mother Azizah Daud, 38, she had accompanied her husband and three children to her in-law's house nearby to attend a 'cukur jambul' (trimming a new-born's hair) ceremony.

She said during the thunderstorm, one of her nephews raised the alarm of the lightning strike on four teenagers at her barn.

"I immediately rushed back and was shocked to learn of Zamaqusyairi's death. Zamaqusyairi had gone to the rear of the barn with his three cousins to make traps to catch eels at a nearby lake," she said.

Azizah added that the tragedy was most unfortunate, especially during an auspicious occasion like Aidil Adha where her family was celebrating the Hari Raya Haji with relatives.

MARAN - Seorang nenek nyaris maut terkena petir ketika berada dalam tandas di luar rumah sebelum diselamatkan anaknya, kira-kira jam 6.40 petang, kelmarin.

Mangsa, Zainon Daing, 70, berkata, petir itu mulanya menyambar pokok bidara di belakang tandas dan terus ke tanah.

Katanya, malah turut terkena dinding belakang tandas dan menyebabkan beberapa papan patah.

“Ketika itu hujan renyai. Angin sangat kuat dan disusuli petir pertama. Petir kedua menyambar pokok bidara, kemudian ke tandas dan meluru ke belakang kepala saya.

“Keadaan petir sangat kuat sehingga saya tertolak ke depan menyebabkan selak pintu tandas patah dan tersungkur di tangga,” katanya.

Zainon berkata, kesannya dia kesakitan di seluruh badan akibat arus petir, namun cuba merangkak di tanah untuk memasuki rumah.

Pada masa sama anaknya, Khamijan Musa, 36, yang berada di ruang tamu rumah terkejut apabila suis utama elektrik meletup dan terbakar.

Khamijan berkata, dia sempat berpaling ke arah tandas dan mendapati terdapat beberapa lingkaran petir dan menyebabkan atap zink bocor.

Menurutnya, dia segera mencari ibunya itu kerana bimbang sebelum menemui warga emas itu terbaring lemah di tanah di depan tandas.

“Saya mengangkat ibu masuk ke dalam rumah dan sehingga sekarang dia masih terasa sakit di dalam telinga seperti berdengung,” katanya.
