A lightning strike survivor in Burlington County, N.J., recounted to Fox News Digital her experiences of being injured by a lightning strike — she was indoors at the time, she explained.
"We are saddened by the tragic loss of life after the lightning strike in Lafayette Park," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement late last week."Our hearts are with the families who lost loved ones."
"And I was taking clothes out of the dryer and was reaching in, grabbing my daughter's lime-green T-shirt," said Venuto-Deal.She said the lightning — after hitting a ground pipe outside her house — traveled through to her basement and arced into the dryer. "Pretty amazing, I know," she said, recounting the experience.
She circled the burn mark on the floor of her basement so that she would know exactly where it hit, she said.After all these years,"I still have the scar on my foot, too," she said.She described the strike as dry lightning — it wasn't raining outside at the time that it happened.She immediately thought"But it was actually my voice," she said, that was screaming."It was so disconnected from me that it sounded like it was coming from outside my house.
She got herself to the hospital —"I went to the E.R., and it was pouring rain by then," she said, describing that memorable evening. "And the side of my face was numb, on that left side."She said she also had a"tingly feeling" in her face and in her arm, which"lasted a few days." Oren N. Gottfried, M.D., professor of neurosurgery at Duke Medical School in the Dept. of Neurosurgery and director of the Neurosciences Clinical Specialties Unit at Duke University School of Medicine, told Fox News Digital in an email on Sunday,"When someone is struck by lightning, they require prompt medical assistance. If more than one person is injured, treat or attend to any unconscious victims first.
"If the victim is unconscious and not breathing well or at all, or has no pulse, call 911 and start standard CPR right away," said Dr. Oren Gottfried of Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, N.C. After a lightning strike,"thermal burns, breathing problems, confusion, irregular heart beat and cardiac arrest can all occur."After a lightning strike,"thermal burns, breathing problems, confusion, irregular heart beat and cardiac arrest can all occur," said Dr. Siegel.
