According to the New York Post and Times Daily foreign media, Lisa Henderson, 19, who lives in Russellville, Alabama, was recently hit by lightning coming through an electrical outlet while charging her cell phone at home.
She claimed "I heard a loud 'Pop' after the bright light flashed, and then I heard nothing but a buzz in my ears."
Afterwards, she said her hands were numb and the pain spread to her right arm and shoulder.
Henderson is said to have had trouble remembering his name and age while being taken to the hospital.
"I tried to say my name, but I couldn't think of it well, and I almost said I was 18 when I said my age. I'm actually 19 years old...," she said.
The boyfriend said she was so shocked that she couldn't stop crying at the time.
The accident is believed to have caused lightning to flow through a multi-tap connected to a mobile phone charging cable.
Henderson's right-side lying in bed was a crucial factor in preventing the current from reaching the heart, according to the medical staff.
The doctor in charge said "There would have been more damage if the size was smaller or if it had been laid to the left."
Surprisingly, Henderson said he had been struck by lightning as a child, leaving his family jokingly texted "If you're curious about how your day was, it was a really 'shocking'day"
This accident is attracting attention as an example of raising awareness about the dangers of lightning and electric current when using electronic devices in home.
In particular, safety rules for refraining from charging or using mobile phones during storms are being emphasized again.
