US Edition'It Was Deafening': B.C. Woman Sees Lightning Strike up Close
CARIBOO, BRITISH COLUMBIA, AUG 2 – Lightning struck a tree and nearby hut causing damage and three fatalities, while the resident narrowly avoided harm during the storm, officials confirmed.
- Cariboo resident Greig experienced lightning less than 100 metres away on Aug. 2, causing her vision to fill with bright white light and shaking the ground.
- A nearby tree was struck by lightning, and a woman saw a fawn trapped in her neighbor's yard as the storm passed, according to Greig.
- Greig said she saw lightning strike near the tree about 50 feet away, smashing a garden angel and cracking a stone step, while bark flew about 50 feet.
- Greig later described the relief after spotting the fawn with its mother the next day, feeling lucky she only needed to discard a garden angel and patch a step.
- Reflecting on the strike, she said, 'It was so loud and it sounded like there were shots after,' unsure whether it was good or bad luck.
