Lightning strikes.
However, not typically while you are trying to avoid the thunderstorms outside and stay safely tucked away in your own home.
According to WBRC-TV, the Walker County EMA reported that the fire department responded to a call this afternoon, in which a female was struck by lightning while near a window in her house.
It isn't the first time an individual has been struck by lightning indoors. Thankfully, it is pretty rare.
It happened just last month to a man in New Jersey, according to ABC 7 News.
In Walker County, the woman was reportedly awake and talking to emergency personnel. We have not been able to confirm her status or injuries, at this time.
