2016-08-28 - 322 reindeer found dead in Vinje (Norway), blamed on lightning strike:

http://norwaytoday.info/news/322-reindeer-killed-lightning/
http://thespeaker.co/world/322-reindeer-killed-lightning/

Quote: "'It is very unusual. I’ve heard of cattle having been killed by lightning, but not in such huge numbers,' said Knut Nylend, a warden at the Norwegian Nature Inspectorate (SNO) who came across hundreds of dead animals in a field between Møsvatn and Kalhovd Telemark, Hardangervidda. The area covered with dead reindeer was around 50 – 80 meters in diameter, according to Nulend."

Note: A storm did go through there, but nobody saw these reindeer get killed, so they're just assuming lightning is what killed them. That seems like too many large animals spread over too large an area - 80 meters, almost a football field in size - for lightning. Maybe they got hit by poison rain that came with the storm, like the 41 children and some animals that suddenly died after rainfall in Papua (Indonesia), mentioned in the 2015-11-24 update. Poison rain could kill creatures over a much larger area than any lightning strike. Basically like the people who've been diving into water and suddenly dying, but with the water falling onto people and creatures and killing them instead of them getting into the water and dying.

That said, lightning strikes have clearly been getting more vicious and deadly around the planet. So either this was a horrifying lightning strike like nothing seen before or these animals weren't killed by lightning. However these reindeer died, we're not likely to ever know the truth of things...
