According to experts, the probability of being struck by lightning is tiny (1 in 3,000,000). However, there are some truly curious stories that surprise us, such as the one about Roy Sullivan that we told you about a few weeks ago or, in this case, the one narrated by Sharon Stone a few days ago.
Last weekend, Sharon Stone was trending on social media for a topic unrelated to her career. The actress revealed on the Films to be buried with podcast how she was struck by lightning and thrown across her kitchen.
“I was at home. We had our own well. I was filling an iron with water. I had one hand on the faucet and the other on the iron when suddenly lightning struck and the energy came through the water,” she said.
According to the actress, what happened next “was really crazy”: “The lightning hit me and I was thrown across the kitchen, hitting the refrigerator. I was like… wow! My mother was there and she slapped my face to bring me back. I was very shaken, I don't know how else to describe it.”
The next thing she remembers is waking up after being unconscious and seeing everything very bright. Her mother took her to the hospital where they saw that there was still energy in her body. “The EKGs showed a lot of electricity in my body, I had to have tests for 10 days.”
Stone revealed that she feels very lucky to be alive but, the truth is that, although with some after-effects, most people who are struck by lightning survive.
After what happened, the program Julia en la Onda on Onda Cero echoed the news and wanted to speak with Aiditec Systems, experts in lightning rods and surge protection, to clarify and resolve certain doubts about it.
