00:00Marriage is not only about happiness, mutual support, love and friendship.
00:05Marriage is also about trials, crises and storms.
00:09And this Swedish couple survived several storms during their honeymoon.
00:13Literally.
00:14Not screams, insults and drama, but real hurricanes, fires, earthquakes and other natural disasters.
00:21This is a really cinematic love story.
00:24Newlyweds against nature.
00:27Meet Erika and Stefan.
00:29They met in Stockholm while working on a joint project,
00:32parted but started chatting with each other on social networks.
00:35Their long-distance communication lasted for several years
00:39before Stefan decided to ask the woman out on a date.
00:42And it's worth paying tribute.
00:44It wasn't a typical date in a restaurant or in a park.
00:47Stefan suggested that Erika fly with him to go diving in Egypt.
00:52They realized that they both love to travel and finally fell in love with each other.
00:57After a fabulous wedding and the birth of a beautiful daughter,
01:00the couple decided to go on a four-month honeymoon.
01:03The tour was impressive.
01:05From Sweden to Indonesia, then to Australia, New Zealand, Japan and China.
01:10They didn't expect that the trip would turn out to be a real adventure
01:14where safety was not guaranteed.
01:17At first, they got stuck at Munich airport.
01:20All flights were delayed because of a severe thunderstorm.
01:23In Bali, Indonesia, they went to a high mountain with their little daughter.
01:28A strong wind began to blow at the top.
01:31It tore off the roof of the tourist bus where our heroes were sitting.
01:35Fortunately, no one was injured and there were no other problems.
01:39But at that moment, it was just a teaser of the coming disasters.
01:43The couple arrived in Australia where a wildfire first started near the city of Perth.
01:49Stefan and Erika didn't want to cough up thick smoke,
01:52so they quickly left for the city of Cairns.
01:55It was during that period when a ferocious cyclone began there.
01:59The storm was so strong that the Australian Red Cross service
02:03provided shelter for 2,500 people in the mall.
02:07And there, another problem began.
02:10Imagine 2,500 people in a big, hot room without electricity
02:15while a hurricane is raging around.
02:18Oh, and there were only 5 toilets in the entire building.
02:21How nervous do you think people were?
02:24Erik and Stefan recalled that some guys started fighting because of stress.
02:29The tension was getting stronger, but fortunately,
02:32the mall guards kept the situation under control.
02:35Wildfires? Hurricanes? It seems that something is missing.
02:39Oh yes, what about an earthquake?
02:42The couple faced two earthquakes during their honeymoon,
02:45which happened in Japan in 2011.
02:48They went through all this together with their little daughter.
02:51Just imagine how their daughter was amazed by all these adventures!
02:55Such a trip strengthened their marriage.
02:58Of course, after natural disasters, any domestic quarrel would seem like a mere trifle.
03:04Erika admitted that in crisis situations,
03:07Stefan fully justified her trust and behaved as she had hoped.
03:11Oh, how sweet!
03:13What if we create tours for married couples who are planning to divorce?
03:17Survive the storm, fire, earthquake, and flood together,
03:20and then think again whether you should leave each other.
03:23Imagine that you've gone through several natural disasters in your entire life.
03:27Now the question is, are you lucky? Because you've survived?
03:31Or are you an unlucky person because you've run into such troubles?
03:35It depends on how you feel about it.
03:37For example, there's a woman, Dana Weiland, who lives in California.
03:41She has survived several disasters throughout her life and continues to smile.
03:46And more recently, she's faced another disaster, wildfires in her home state.
03:51But let's take it in order.
03:53In 2005, Dana Weiland lived in New Orleans.
03:57And if anyone doesn't know, that year, Hurricane Katrina destroyed many houses in this and other cities.
04:04Dana's house was no exception.
04:06According to her, the lower floor of the house was completely flooded with water.
04:10Of course, she had to give up everything and evacuate.
04:14Dana and her family drove to Texas to a friend's place for about 20 hours.
04:19One month later, Hurricane Rita arrived there, and Dana and her family evacuated again.
04:25It looked as if nature was following her around.
04:28But our heroine was not one of the timid ones.
04:31Several years later, she faced another disaster, Snowmageddon.
04:37This was when a huge amount of wet, cold snow flooded cities and roads.
04:42Strong wind, blizzard, and endless snowfall.
04:45All traffic stopped.
04:47The lights turned off. The streets were empty.
04:50Dana sat for 11 days without electricity during this snow apocalypse.
04:55And after all these disasters, she got the exact opposite of snow.
05:01Wildfires in her hometown of Lake Arrowhead in San Bernardino County.
05:07Let's hope that this time, everything will be fine with her again, and she will meet any adversity with a smile on her face.
05:15Have you heard that lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place?
05:19Can it hit the same person twice?
05:22What if it strikes the same guy seven times in a few hours?
05:26This is not a movie plot in a tragicomedy genre.
05:29This is the real story of Roy Sullivan.
05:32A man who got into the Guinness Book of Records for the number of lightning strikes survived.
05:38There are more than 8 million lightning strikes on Earth every day, which is about 100 strikes per second.
05:44But even so, the probability of getting struck is extremely low.
05:49One chance in 10 million.
05:51For Roy Sullivan, these chances were too high.
05:55For his strange record, people nicknamed him the human lightning rod.
06:00For the first time, lightning struck him in 1942, when Roy was on a watchtower that didn't have a lightning rod.
06:07A bright flash of light and a powerful current discharge scarred the man, but didn't cause crucial damage to help.
06:14The next accident occurred in 1969, when lightning struck a tree near the road.
06:20The lightning passed through the tree to a car.
06:23Guess who was driving this vehicle?
06:25Roy lost control and almost drove off a cliff.
06:28Fortunately, he stayed alive again.
06:31Okay, the first time he was on the tower during a thunderstorm.
06:35The second time was on the road next to a tree.
06:37And as we know, lightning often strikes trees.
06:41This meant Roy was in a potential risk area every time.
06:44But the third time happened in his front yard.
06:47Lightning struck the transformer and caught his shoulder.
06:51The fourth time happened in 1972.
06:54Lightning struck Roy while he was working.
06:57From that moment on, the man began to suspect that this natural phenomenon was somehow attracted to his body.
07:04Maybe it was a curse, or maybe everything could be explained from a scientific point of view.
07:09A year later, lightning struck him for the fifth time.
07:13A thunderstorm started that day.
07:15Roy decided not to try his luck again and hid in his truck.
07:19And so, when the storm calmed down, Sullivan got out of the car, and BAM!
07:24Another lightning struck.
07:26There were two times left before the record.
07:29They occurred in 1976 and in 1977.
07:33Roy's bad luck spread to his wife.
07:36One day, lightning struck her too.
07:38It didn't hurt her, but scared a lot.
07:41So far, no one has broken Ray's record.
07:44But obviously, people haven't tried to do that.
07:47Okay, lightning, fires, snowstorms, hurricanes, and earthquakes.
07:51But how about tsunamis?
07:53Unfortunately, this is one of the most terrible and devastating disasters on the planet.
07:58If you survived it, you're definitely lucky.
08:01Zarul Fuwadi from Indonesia survived these devastating water disasters twice.
08:07The first occurred in Indonesia in 2004.
08:11And the second happened a few years later during an earthquake in Japan.
08:16During the second time, Zarul was in the building on the third floor and felt a jolt.
08:22He was shocked and immediately remembered the tsunami he had experienced before.
08:27The tsunami hit the city, but our hero and his family survived.
08:32After this double trouble, he decided to move to his homeland, Indonesia.
08:37Despite the terrible events, Zarul looks at what happened calmly.
08:42Any catastrophe can happen to any person at any moment.
08:45But it doesn't mean you should live in fear forever.
08:48So, be focused on the bright side of life.
08:51That's it for today.
