»  Comments | Post a Comment

A woman is struck by lightning and lives to tell about it.

Spartanburg County Dispatch says the woman was struck Saturday afternoon outside of a home on Mountainview Circle.

Maria Johnson says she was at a neighbor's home for a baby shower when a storm hit her street. "It was terrible. The rain was coming down very fast it looked like a tornado situation," Johnson said.

She says as she was just walking out the door she felt the bolt of lightning. "Like if you've been shocked if you been touched by someone inside your house times fifty or a hundred," she said.

E-M-S checked Johnson out. "My whole left side was tingling and painful here and there," she said. Johnson wasn't seriously hurt.

"I thank God. You think what if that had been my last minute," Johnson said.
