Monday evening, a 41-year-old woman was reportedly struck by lightning at a local business in Blanket, Texas as a thunderstorm was building in Brown County.
Hot weather often relates to quick forming summer thunderstorms. This held true Monday evening as the storm built and resulted in a lightning strike in a field near where the woman was standing. Guardian EMS officials report the woman was apparently holding something in the air which somehow transferred the current to the woman.
Guardian EMS and first responders were quickly on scene and transported the woman to Brownwood Regional Medical Center. She is said to be in good condition despite the day’s event. Officials did not release the woman’s name.
