The storm did cause problems for a couple of people in my area, one was actually struck by lightning. :eek:
A TEENAGER miraculously survived a terrifying ordeal which left him paralysed down one side of his body when he was struck by a bolt of lightning.
Scott Howell, 16, of Marchwiel, was in a car on the A439, travelling between Penley and Overton, during last Sunday afternoon’s heavy storms. He was with a friend following the Renault Clio belonging to his older brother, Michael, which crashed into a ditch. Scott had got out of the car to direct oncoming traffic out of the way when he was struck by lightning.
Scott said: “I was travelling in the car behind my brother. Because of the heavy rain his brakes locked and his car rolled into a ditch.
“We pulled over and I got out of the car. My mate told me to go up the road to guide the traffic away from the car.
“The next thing I heard a massive crash of thunder and the lightning hit the gate next to me. The doctor said it had travelled up through my knee and up my body through my arm. A hole was burned in the underneath of my trainers.”
He said the experience had left him with a limp in his right leg and slight paralysis in his left arm, but was recovering well after a short stay at Wrexham Maelor Hospital." he added: “I’m doing OK, I feel a bit better.”
Another man was lucky to be only slightly injured after a lightning bolt struck his house causing ceilings to collapse.
that is amazing. We are having a terrible drought.
Great pics!!
