Survivor Story: Julie
Struck While Unloading Truck
I had my own retail store and one morning it was pouring down and
lightening, thunder all over. I had to go to my store's truck
which was very old and had metal door openers. I thought nothing of
it since I was in a hurry and busy. I
think I even had an umbrella. I touch my hand to the metal door opener
and shhhhh. lightening hit me for a short second. I could feel it go
all the way through me. I dropped my hand and it stopped. Fortunately, I
went back into the store and sat down. I could feel that it hit my head
too. But since I was stable I just thought I was a little shocked. I
never did call 9ll but to this day I think I have memory loss. You
cannot tell a doctor that though. Anyway ever since that day I have
tremendous respect for lightening and storms and have a real fear when
it thunders and lightening is outside. Thanks for the article, Julie
