Default Welsh girl, 10, survives lightning strike through window

Wooow, how lucky can you get. Thank God the Girl is fine.

A 10-YEAR-OLD British girl cheated death after being struck by lightning inside her home, The Sun reported today. Erin Moran was watching a storm from the attic in her home in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, when the bolt struck with a huge bang, shooting through the glass and into her left arm, leaving through her right big toe before scorching the carpet.
The strike left a jagged, Harry Potter-style mark on Erin's arm - and small entry and exit holes in the double-glazed glass window.
Erin's mother and father, Rhian and Mark, both 40, rushed her to the hospital, where she was treated for shock.
"Erin's a very lucky girl. The lightning went right through her. The doctors were astounded," father-of-two Mark Moran said.
The bolt hit three homes in the Morans' street.
"It was ferocious, like a bomb," according to neighbour Wayne Cunningham, 49.
Professor Martin Uman, a lightning expert from the University of Florida, said strikes through windows were "very rare."
