KY Woman Survives Lightning Strike
A Louisville woman was trying to capture severe weather pictures on her cell phone when she was struck by lightning, but she was lucky to survive with just first-degree burns.
Almeta Davis said she was snapping a picture outside of her door of the Sunday morning storms that were bending over the trees. She told WAVE-TV in Louisville that she had her hand out the door when the lightning struck her in the hand.
Davis said the jolt knocked her off her feet and she went to the hospital for treatment of first-degree burns. She said there is still numbness in her arm and she plans to get another medical checkup on Monday.
But Davis said despite the shock, she’d probably risk a storm again to take pictures.
