Woman Indirectly Struck By Lightning In Nokomis
July 15, 2014
A 20-year old woman was indirectly struck by lightning Tuesday afternoon in Nokomis, FL.
The woman was outside a home in the 6100 block of North Pineville Road, just north of Nokomis Road, when lightning struck a nearby fence or other object about 3 p.m.
The woman was barefoot at the time and suffered a shock from the lightning strike. She was reportedly complaining of a loss of sensation in her legs. She was transported to Atmore Community Hospital with injuries that were not considered serious.
Atmore Ambulance and the Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the call.

And the moral of this story is…
Get inside when lightning is in the area.
Stay away from grounded metallic objects.
Wear shoes. (okay, I don’t do this one much…)
