This is amazing and disturbing at the same time. In case you were wondering, she is totally fine.
Here is this flickr users description:
Because you insisted, here’s the unedited screaming version. I also added video from a minute before the lightning struck so you can get an idea of how hard it was raining. From what i understand, it went through my left hand holding the camera, crossed my back and exited out of my right hand holding onto the metal railing. No entry or exit wounds, as i was not directly struck, i got just a really good zap from one of the “finger arcs” that happen when lightning hits.
Welcome Back from the Dark Side!

Haha! Thanks!
OMG! I’m so glad you’re OK — that’s something I hope never happens to you again! You might not be so lucky the next time.
Lightning hit a 12 year old in a neighborhood close by last year and she was not so fortunate.

Hi Margaret-
Just to clarify, this video isn’t mine and this isn’t me, I found it on Flickr. I don’t think many are this fortunate, which is why I don’t mess around when lightning is in the mix. Thanks for stopping by.
