Her family says she will need 'prolonged and aggressive medical care.'
HOUSTON - A 25-year-old woman has been hospitalized for weeks after she was either directly struck or nearly struck by lightning in Texas.
“She requires very prolonged and aggressive medical care,” said Kodoru’s cousin, Surendra Kumar Kotha.. She was enjoying the long holiday weekend July 2, walking along the pond with friends at Harris County’s San Jacinto Monument when lightning struck. Deputies say she somehow ended up in the pond, and a bystander jumped in to help her.
The chances of getting struck by lightning per year are 1 in nearly 1.2 million, according to the National Weather Service. Only 10% of people who are struck by lightning are killed, leaving 90% with varying degrees of disability.
