The lightning strike left a "large hole" in Giana Scaramuzzo's home and damaged several other nearby properties.
A 15-year-old girl survived a lightning strike that hit her Pennsylvania, US, home on Monday. Giana Scaramuzzo's home was among at least five that were struck by lightning.
Citing local news station WTAE, Newsweek reported that the lightning went through Ms Scaramuzzo's pinky finger and out of her left leg. The teenager said that she was alright and was treated by paramedics. They checked her blood pressure, which was normal, and sent the results of an electrocardiogram - a test that measures electrical activity generated by the heart - to a local hospital
Speaking to WTAE, the 15-year-old said, “All of a sudden I hear the loud sound of thunder, and then I see lightning, and I see it reflect from my mirror, and all of a sudden I feel like a shock in my pinky, and then it goes up my body and out through my leg.”
