A Fort Worth Police Department recruit and two of the Fort Worth Fire Department’s personnel are recovering after a lightning strike as storms moved through North Texas Friday morning.
"If you hear thunder rumbling that's a great sign that you need to go indoors because lightning can strike outside of a storm," said Fort Worth Fire Battalion Chief James McAmis.
"Typically, what we see in a near lightning strike is you're gonna have burns, because electricity is gonna go through your body," said Matt Zavadsky with Medstar."Just know that storms can come up at any time and we're seeing that time and time again. And today's case was just an example." “About 20 people per year in the United States are killed by lightning strikes, hundreds of others are injured,” said Zavadsky. “We've had two other cases already this season where people were in the area where lightning struck and they got lightning strike peripherally. So it can happen and it does happen here in North Texas, especially lately with these pop-up thunderstorms.”
