Hawaii comes to mind when I think of peace and tranquillity, but for one Honolulu man, this past year has been an unforgiving war. In April, local resident Aumauinuuese Puni was streaming on Facebook Live from a rooftop (as you do) when he was struck by lightning. The blast scorched his shoes and left him in an immense out amount of pain.

Unfortunately for him, this is not just a story about a man who survived being struck by lightning. Months later, a family member of his tested positive for COVID-19. Puni thought it would be a good idea to get tested, and it was, as he tested positive and quickly found himself in a battle for his life.

Luckily, we have received word that Puni is out of the hospital. This man has survived a lightning strike and COVID all in the same year. Simply put: this man is built different.
