That's incredibly sad. She wanted to give her dogs the loving care she did every day, which included a morning walk. My heart is breaking for all three of them, as well as for her daughter, and all who loved her.
Lightning rods placed on the tallest buildings in the area. I've read they could also be placed in trees. My grandparents stuck an axe in the ground so that the lightning could strike the axe and not the house. But those were tougher times. Talk to your authorities to find solutions. Sadness won't solve anything!
It’s sad asf but I can’t be fully sympathetic when you decided to walk In the middle of a massive thunderstorm. Could’ve waited for it to pass like a normal person then take the dogs out, but that decision cost her life. So sad
When my dad was young he witnessed a guy get struck and killed by lightning when he went to go under a tree for shelter in the storm. I grew up with my dad teaching us to always take storms and lightening seriously. Of course, never seek shelter under a tree either!
@@natalieferrer9605 If you can't get indoors or a car (avoid touching the sides/roof/floor/steering wheel), find the lowest point of ground, and crouch down. Avoid metal, water, trees. Lightning seeks the higher points.
No, you SHOULD always seek shelter under trees if theres no building. The idea that trees are more unsafe in a lightning storm is a very harmful myth! The most dangerous place to be is out in the open, because you’re the tallest thing the lightning can be attracted to, when you’re under a tree, you’re no longer a target but the tree is. And no if the tree gets hit it won’t impact you, as long as you’re not in a puddle that gets hit with bare feet, or touching metal that gets hit.
I worked as an EMT and to see random acts or accidents involving innocent people is so hard to comprehend. Won’t go into stories because I have seen enough to know we are never safe as we believe we are.
I sincerely hope you get the counseling you need, after all you deal with 😢 It's a hell of a job doing what you do and I thank you... Be good Be safe. 🌹🇨🇦

When we were children, 7 of us, we were forbidden to go outside during a storm. That danger my mother drove into us and I have followed that advice even now at 65. My prayers go out to her family.
My mom too.. and we were told to also never take a bath or shower during a thunderstorm or when there’s lightning either. Now I teach my own daughter the same. I always wondered if it really mattered when maybe the lightning is mild but I guess it does matter. Sorry for all here
@@shawnnorton2674 why would the story be anymore heartbreaking because you both own dogs? A woman died, far worse than any animal dying, and can be felt by any human. The dogs don't take anything away from non dog owners finding the story heartbreaking.
Could have easily been avoided and I don't feel bad for her because she was stupid, she could have used a treadmill to get in a walk or she could have walked around inside her house. She also could have taken the dogs on a short walk around her block instead of driving whatever distance to take that walk as the storm rolled in. I feel sorry for her poor dogs because they had no choice.

This interview is a great example of why people shouldn’t judge someone smiling after hearing terrible news, it’s a very human reaction that some people have and it’s not an indication of anything bad. Some people laugh or smile when they’re uncomfortable with what they’re talking about. I definitely have noticed myself doing it in uncomfortable situations. I feel for her, lost a homie.
In the immortal words of The Barenaked Ladies: I cannot help but to think you're funny when you're mad Trying hard not to smile, though I feel bad I'm the kinda guy who laughs at a funeral Can't understand what I mean, you soon will
Okay, I'll admit that I'm one of those that didn’t take lightning strikes seriously. I would often not take heed to the weather alerts urging residents to stay inside & would venture out no matter how bad storms & flashes of light were present. I will now take this seriously. So sorry this happened to this woman & her two little doggies. 😢
I have a childhood/longtime friend who thinks or thought like you in relation to lightning strikes. He always chuckles at me when I'll quickly make my way indoors as soon as I see lightning. I recall he, I and several other friends took a trip to a beach here on the east coast and the sky was being lit up with frequent sky-to-ground lightning. I'm talking about "spider lightning." It was beautiful to see, particularly being this storm was occurring at night, but nothing in which I wanted to be outdoors. Well, I hightailed it indoors by taking off running. He got a good chuckle out of me and claimed I was "scary" and my "chances of getting hit by lightning was very slim." I told him as I've told him numerous of other times that my odds (and his) are slim, but why chance those odds by taking things lightly and getting struck by lightning. I went on to say that's not something in which you want to risk your limited odds. I've always respected Mother Nature. It can be quite beautiful, but also extremely dangerous.
snowblo1: I always thought u had a better chance of hitting the lottery than getting struck. I knew someone who stood outside holding a metal pipe in the air during a bad lightening storm yelling at God to strike him. I still don’t take the risk tho.
@@PeepersT are u serious????? Talk about a shit human being. It isn't hard to feel sorry for her at all. Its hard to understand how someone like u can have next to no empathy for her.
@@nunya992 It is real , it's kinda like instincts in animals . They just know when and not to do something? Unfortunately many humans just don't have that instinct or common sense anymore.
@@KS-lb1tu You do realise that you’re 200 times more likely to be killed by a car whilst crossing the street than to get hit and killed by a lightning strike? Therefore according to your logic, you’re saying that people who cross the street on foot aren’t using common sense?
My cousin Matt was struck when he was 11. He spent the next 35 years in a chair, unable to do anything. He gurgled and snorted occasionally, but that was the extent of his "life." He just died a few months ago, and I've never been more relieved. I understand he was my aunt and uncle's kid, but I just couldn't understand allowing my own flesh and blood suffer like that for so many years. They should've pulled the plug soon after it happened.
Sometimes the toughest choice is the best choice. I'm not for suicide and Dr's killing patients. But people put down injured horses and old dogs to end their suffering. I'm not comparing an animals life to a humans life but sometimes it's more cruel to prolong the suffering. But then again I've heard stories of people waking up after 30 years of being in a coma. And then it comes down to who are we to judge who's life is worth living? With that being said sorry about your cousin
@@sussybaca7256 Thank you very much. I completely agree with you. However, there were other circumstances that made that choice even harder. My aunt and uncle have lived through tragedy after tragedy. At 19, my uncle was drafted and sent to do literally unspeakable things in Vietnam. I have never heard him say one word about his time there in my 30 years. Then he fell in love and got married, but my aunt developed breast cancer. She beat that and they had two kids. Eleven mostly blissful years passed before my cousin was struck, so they had to deal with that on top of their own trauma. And with my cousin only being a little kid, I'm sure that played into their decision. My dad did tell me they either thought about or fully intended to allow him to die, but I can't recall why it didn't happen. But then to make matters worse, their only other child, my cousin Melissa, was murdered in a horrific collision in 2016 when a monster got fucked up on meth, muscle relaxers, and hard pain relievers and took a drive, running down a group of nine cyclists and killing five of them. So ending the life of their other child certainly wasn't in the books after that. But they still saw how miserable his existence was and prolonged it.
i’m sorry about your cousin dude! if you don’t mine my asking, do you know if he was at least aware of everything going on around him ? could he understand when ppl spoke to him, watch tv, etc.
I remember coming home from my grave shift that day and my coworkers in the morning was telling me how scary it was outside. Condolences to her loved ones. Rest In Peace 💔
@@motosk8er2 Don't call bullshit, I am friends with a woman who's been struck 3 different times and survived. I've actually known a few people who survived strikes. Just because you don't understand the science of it doesn't mean it isn't possible.
She went to Heaven with her dogs. I’m crying as I write this, though, always very sad when a good person with puppies dies like that. She probably thought she could get a quick walk in before the storm arrived. But lightning can travel far from a storm front and strike without warning. RIP.
I live in Albuquerque and we get some VERY violent thunderstorms here. The motto from the weather people here is "When thunder roars, get indoors!" Too bad this woman did not heed that warning with the thunderstorm in her area. Even sadder is that her two dogs died, also. 😞
This is beyond heartbreaking! I hope people who might be like her, (refusing to listen to warnings), see this and their lives are spared because of their decision.
I live in Southern California and this storm came out of nowhere. I was shocked to hear thunder and lightning when I woke up that morning. So sad to hear that someone lost their life. God bless her and all of her grieving loved ones. 🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾♥️
Oh, dear. Bless her and those who love and miss her. I have probably used poor judgement when being determined to walk my pup before the storm moved in. So sorry this happened.
this is really sad and heartbreaking. my condolences to her family and friends, who have lost a loved one and two four-legged family members. may they rest in peace 🙏
If you can "HEAR" thunder and or lightening, it can kill you at a long distance. In the military we are not allowed on the flight line when a storm is eminent as it is 5 Nautical Miles...very close to kill you. Prayers for her family. 😢🌎💕
I moved to Michigan 8 years ago from San Diego after 56 years there. Thunder and lightning storms are no joke here. The first year I was terrified and went to my bathroom which has no windows. Now I sleep through most of them. Last week we had one that scared the crap out of me. RIP to this sweet lady and her pups.
Yeah even when I go hiking I was trained as a child what to do if you are in the wilderness. Sometimes you just cannot fully escape a storm but there are methods to keep you safe.
No one is ever 100% safe, anywhere. I'm reminded of a teenager that stepped outside of a house at a party and was killed when a tiny meteorite hit him in the chest and went through his heart. What are the chances of that happening?
bruh god created storms and it was her fault for going out and she knew there was a storm but she ignored it instead and got herself killed along with her dogs if she truly cared she would've stayed in and kept her dogs safe
When I was a kid, we had a creek / ditch in our back yard. My brothers and I would play in it when a storm hit as that was the only time it had water in it. One time I was back there under a tree. My skin and scalp started tingling. A second or two later, lightning hit the tree on top of me. It was blinding and incredibly loud. I gained some respect for the power of storms that day.
Wow. I remember seeing a story of a lady getting hit by lighting in her own kitchen. The lightning hit her house and it manage to get in through the recess light fixture right above the kitchen sink, where she was washing dishes. If I'm not mistaken it was a show about kids who call 911 and save someone's life. 🤔
This makes me so sad. May she and her fur babies Rest In Peace. 🐾🐾🐾🐾 I will never take a lighting storm for granted. EVER. Condolences to her family. 🕊
Sad & heartbreaking 💔 she lost her life alone with her two dogs. One of her dogs was trying to go back in the house she pulled the dog chain. Animals can feel when something about to happened. My child hood friend & classmate got struck by lightning holding a umbrella. She lived but she was never right (mentally) again. It was sad she was a beautiful person inside & out. May the lady & her dogs rip. Prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I was struck by lightning a few years back while using a gas trimmer on a dark cloudy afternoon. How I survived is still a puzzle to me. I recall hearing a loud blast like a high caliber gun going off next to my right ear. I was dazed and disoriented for a while but beyond that I was ok. My wife and son who were inside the house witnessed the event. Never again. If it's cloudy or raining, you won't ever see me outside. No sir.

This is so sad and such a tragedy.. I remember as a child when it was storming my grandmother would turn off everything including the lights ( this was the 70's) an make my brother and I be quiet and take a nap. We were 5 & 6 yrs. old. I now know why. 🙏🏽
Girl I was born n 91 n since I was kid my grandma would do the same turn all the lights off n won’t let u use the phone,should would tell us she didn’t want us to get struck by lightning…..thought it was crazy till now…

@@reneebundy2609 we are Electric magnetic beings also,, with that being said that is why we attract so much. Energy when it is lightning raining or thundering it's important that you stay safe and covered because our electric bodies radiates lightning
My mother unplugged everything, turned off the lights and closed the windows. Lightening can come right through an open window, through your telephone (landlines), through your plumbing or through your electrical lines. So don't shower, do dishes, use a landline, use anything electric or leave a window open.
@@benhartart9487 I know death in itself is not sad but going out this way is horrible. This is not fading away in your sleep. I know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
So sad. One of the things that has always TERRIFIED me is lightening, when a casual day slow boating day on the water turned into a nightmare! . In 1980, I was out boating with my husband and his brother and his wife and after just boating up by the Hoover Dam, all of a sudden lightening began striking EVERYWHERE on he water. We were the highest thing and ONLY thing on the water being that we were in our boat. I was also 4 months pregnant with my first child. I thought that we’d get struck for sure as we hurriedly went back to our campsite which seemed like it took FOREVER! It had gotten dark so we had to call out for our dogs. When we did they barked and we were able to find camp there in the desert easier. I’ve had PTSD when it comes to lightening ever since. I feel so bad for the loved ones of Miss Mendoza and wish them strength and comfort during this sad time.🙏🏼
This is one of the saddest stories I have heard in years that poor lady, taking her puppies out for a walk. What are the chances of lightning striking you but it did rest in peace Antonia❤
Sometimes we should pay more attention to everything around us even our pets behavior, if you can see in the video the smaller dog black color was refusing to continue walking but the lady pulled the doggie's leash forward and the dog had no other option than keep walking, animals sense the danger better than any human could, it's very sad.
Yes this was my neighbor, I heard that she really didn’t want to go that day but went anyway. Also heard the dogs didn’t want to go either . So heartbreaking to see her car parked knowing she won’t be coming back
I live directly on the Gulf of Mexico in SW Florida. We are the lightning capital of the world and endure tragedies like this all too often. I am often stunned and angry by the foolishness of tourists who think nothing of frolicking in the waves with their children as one of our incredibly fast moving storms roars in. People just don't bloody get it, and I've truthfully lost count of the number of occasions I've had to race into these storms to plead/ pull them off the beach. The worst are the ones who "poo-poo" my warnings, despite the black skies and flashing bolts directly overhead. Our last (local) lightning strike fatality was 3 years ago, and it's something I never hope to witness again. An "invincible" teen was boogie-boarding with friends one moment and dead the next. His two friends suffered irreversible physical and emotional damage, with both in cardiac arrest at the scene and one having to undergo a double amputation of his legs several weeks later. It's just NOT worth it, folks! If you HEAR thunder, STAY INSIDE. It's as simple as that.
You are too nice. I would never put my own life in danger to save people that don’t want to be saved. Let them sacrifice themselves to Satan, it’s what they want.
I'm in AZ & have"poo poo'd" the Monsoons here before & even gone by my pool(I know, stupid). After watching this video & reading your comment.. I will never do this again & will stay inside.
@@MOE13576 he’s referring to the fact that the person explain that they would run into the area to tell people to come out of the water and the guy is saying that he would not even bother to warn them.
A lot of people saying there is nothing she could have done. But she could have been safe and stayed indoors, maybe take the dogs out to do their business and that’s it. It looked like she walked into the middle of a flat, barren field with no telephone poles or buildings nearby during a thunderstorm. She probably had some indication that there was a storm. She could have kept herself and her dogs safe and the least we can all do is learn something from her unfortunate mistake and not do the same. You can’t completely control your fate but you can at least guide it.
Absolutely sad. If it were me, I would hope my loved ones could see the how wonderful my last moments were; living the last moments of my life with the pup(s) I love.
I live in El Monte and the lightning was so strong. Definitely one of the worst storms I’ve heard. I was sad to hear that this happened during that storm. My condolences to family and friends and May she and her puppies rip.
I can’t even imagine this and it absolutely breaks my soul. I often walk my dog when it’s raining or even if it’s lightly storming and never ever ever considered we could be struck by lightening like this. My husband will never let me walk if it’s cloudy again. He’s paranoid enough and survived being struck by lightening twice. Neither time just being out walking though,
Stop internalizing the problems of the world, your not Jesus Christ. We'll all be safe when we are driving vehicles the size of Wisconsin. Yeah. THAT'S the ticket.
This is a sad story but these lightning and thunderstorms are nothing to play with and you can always walk your pets another time. You have to be safe.
the odds of getting hit by lightning is literally the unit by which we express how unlikely something is to happen. when its your time, its your time, there is nothing to do about it.
@@The1707regina The chances of getting struck by lightning are so low that’s it’s almost negligible, but still above zero. Most people don’t give much thought to walking out in storms around where I live because we have storms every day. It doesn’t make someone irresponsible because they took a literal less than 1 in a million chance and got unlucky. Hell, you have a higher chance of dying in a car accident, but you still get in one of those every single day, right?
OMG, that wonderful lady and her two tiny pups... she probably hoped she could’ve gotten a quick walk in before the storm. Lightning is very unpredictable. RIP x 3.
That morning I took my dog out to do his business when then I saw the lighting. The thought of being struck by lightning crossed my mind so I went back inside. Looks like it wasn’t too bad when the women took her dogs out. Probably didn’t even know that lighting was looming. Feel bad for her and her precious companions. May her family and friends find peace.
I think that one of the doggies jerked back. Maybe he, or she was frightened by a lightning strike sound. If you watch her walking with her doggies on the camera footage, you will notice that the doggie on the left, jerked back.
Three nIghts ago I also witnessed dry lightning storming across the skies coming straight towards my house while I was in the backyard with my dogs. It looked like explosions or a war in the sky, I watched for a few minutes amazed by its power but then realized I was in danger of a lightning bolt reaching across the open air for miles just to strike me dead….Nope …. I had enough and went inside. I feel terrible for this woman’s death , but she is not suffering any longer and is at peace now with her two beloved doggos.
The last video I have of my son is on my ring camera walking out of the house before he was hit and killed by a car crossing the road.. I pray for this woman's family. The pain or losing someone you love is unbearable
About ten years ago, I went for a walk alone on Christmas morning. Shortly after I arrived at a park a couple miles from my house, a violent thunderstorm rolled in. No rain but lightning everywhere and nowhere to go. I don't think I've ever been more scared for my life. Be aware of the weather before you go out, people.
A couple of years ago I met a man who had been struck by lightning and survived. He was a quantity surveyor. He was working with a colleague beside a large pit when the lightening struck He said it was like being hit by a massive, heavy, hammer. It left him with memory problems and he had to take early retirement.
I know a guy in Los Alamos that was struck by lightning. He was on the outside steps of an apartment when the lightning struck. He too had cognitive problems plus physical issues and had to quit working.
"I admire that she was active w friends/church" Religious indoctrination to not think, likely killed her. It drives impaired science literacy and critical thinking. In this case, the illogical belief you can safely ignore what you don''t understand--like the risk of lightning strikes in an open field during an electrical storm.
Her last act was to show a kindness to her animals. I respect that. I hope none of them were aware of what happened, and from her perspective the sky brightened a little, then they were all walking in a meadow.
Fuck yeah! every 5 seconds I would see lighting in the clouds, thunderstorms were no wear near us at first then next thing you know it started pouring and some crazy thunder
God Bless Her and her two fur baby's. I lost a good friend that way 30 years ago back in Los Angeles. He was walking back from work when a lightning bolt struck near him. Some people nearby tried CPR but it was to late and he died.. He left behind a wife and a 7 month old son. Sad.
RIP to this family of three, even though it’s said that you passed I hope your daughter can find peace knowing you likely passed instantly and painlessly. Many of us don’t know how we will leave this earth in our final moments but the people who lack empathy, ridicule or make fun of this women should hope their time will not be slow and painful.

This interview is a great example of why people shouldn’t judge someone smiling after hearing terrible news, it’s a very human reaction that some people have and it’s not an indication of anything bad. Some people laugh or smile when they’re uncomfortable with what they’re talking about. I definitely have noticed myself doing it in uncomfortable situations. I feel for her, lost a homie.

Okay, I'll admit that I'm one of those that didn’t take lightning strikes seriously. I would often not take heed to the weather alerts urging residents to stay inside & would venture out no matter how bad storms & flashes of light were present. I will now take this seriously. So sorry this happened to this woman & her two little doggies. 😢
I have a childhood/longtime friend who thinks or thought like you in relation to lightning strikes. He always chuckles at me when I'll quickly make my way indoors as soon as I see lightning. I recall he, I and several other friends took a trip to a beach here on the east coast and the sky was being lit up with frequent sky-to-ground lightning. I'm talking about "spider lightning." It was beautiful to see, particularly being this storm was occurring at night, but nothing in which I wanted to be outdoors. Well, I hightailed it indoors by taking off running. He got a good chuckle out of me and claimed I was "scary" and my "chances of getting hit by lightning was very slim." I told him as I've told him numerous of other times that my odds (and his) are slim, but why chance those odds by taking things lightly and getting struck by lightning. I went on to say that's not something in which you want to risk your limited odds.
I've always respected Mother Nature. It can be quite beautiful, but also extremely dangerous.
God makes no mistakes. Apparently, she went against the most high and disregarded his instructions.
Same.this is classic case of "that would never happen to me"..until it does.
snowblo1: I always thought u had a better chance of hitting the lottery than getting struck. I knew someone who stood outside holding a metal pipe in the air during a bad lightening storm yelling at God to strike him. I still don’t take the risk tho.
Had a near miss the heat is intense
This proves that you should never go outside no matter what during a storm, even if you think you won't get struck, it might just happen.
Common sense isn't so common anymore.
These people gambled and they lost their lives hard to feel sorry for them. Don’t play if you don’t want to pay.

@@KS-lb1tu You do realise that you’re 200 times more likely to be killed by a car whilst crossing the street than to get hit and killed by a lightning strike? Therefore according to your logic, you’re saying that people who cross the street on foot aren’t using common sense?
My cousin Matt was struck when he was 11. He spent the next 35 years in a chair, unable to do anything. He gurgled and snorted occasionally, but that was the extent of his "life." He just died a few months ago, and I've never been more relieved. I understand he was my aunt and uncle's kid, but I just couldn't understand allowing my own flesh and blood suffer like that for so many years. They should've pulled the plug soon after it happened.
*AGREED 100%*
Sometimes the toughest choice is the best choice.
I'm not for suicide and Dr's killing patients. But people put down injured horses and old dogs to end their suffering. I'm not comparing an animals life to a humans life but sometimes it's more cruel to prolong the suffering.
But then again I've heard stories of people waking up after 30 years of being in a coma. And then it comes down to who are we to judge who's life is worth living?
With that being said sorry about your cousin
@@sussybaca7256 Thank you very much. I completely agree with you. However, there were other circumstances that made that choice even harder. My aunt and uncle have lived through tragedy after tragedy. At 19, my uncle was drafted and sent to do literally unspeakable things in Vietnam. I have never heard him say one word about his time there in my 30 years. Then he fell in love and got married, but my aunt developed breast cancer. She beat that and they had two kids. Eleven mostly blissful years passed before my cousin was struck, so they had to deal with that on top of their own trauma. And with my cousin only being a little kid, I'm sure that played into their decision. My dad did tell me they either thought about or fully intended to allow him to die, but I can't recall why it didn't happen. But then to make matters worse, their only other child, my cousin Melissa, was murdered in a horrific collision in 2016 when a monster got fucked up on meth, muscle relaxers, and hard pain relievers and took a drive, running down a group of nine cyclists and killing five of them. So ending the life of their other child certainly wasn't in the books after that. But they still saw how miserable his existence was and prolonged it.
i’m sorry about your cousin dude! if you don’t mine my asking, do you know if he was at least aware of everything going on around him ? could he understand when ppl spoke to him, watch tv, etc.
@@emmett7779 There's really no way to tell for sure, but it did seem like he was at least partially coherent.

It’s really sad!
And that’s why you should never have dogs to walk out.
Are we all praying to the same god that sent the lightening down to kill her? Im kinda confused here....
When I was a kid, we had a creek / ditch in our back yard. My brothers and I would play in it when a storm hit as that was the only time it had water in it. One time I was back there under a tree. My skin and scalp started tingling. A second or two later, lightning hit the tree on top of me. It was blinding and incredibly loud. I gained some respect for the power of storms that day.
I experienced the same thing bud. Cant forget that day man.
Lucky you weren't BBQ'd
Wow. I remember seeing a story of a lady getting hit by lighting in her own kitchen. The lightning hit her house and it manage to get in through the recess light fixture right above the kitchen sink, where she was washing dishes. If I'm not mistaken it was a show about kids who call 911 and save someone's life. 🤔

My mother unplugged everything, turned off the lights and closed the windows.

So don't shower, do dishes, use a landline, use anything electric or leave a window open.

So sad. One of the things that has always TERRIFIED me is lightening, when a casual day slow boating day on the water turned into a nightmare! . In 1980, I was out boating with my husband and his brother and his wife and after just boating up by the Hoover Dam, all of a sudden lightening began striking EVERYWHERE on he water. We were the highest thing and ONLY thing on the water being that we were in our boat. I was also 4 months pregnant with my first child. I thought that we’d get struck for sure as we hurriedly went back to our campsite which seemed like it took FOREVER! It had gotten dark so we had to call out for our dogs. When we did they barked and we were able to find camp there in the desert easier. I’ve had PTSD when it comes to lightening ever since. I feel so bad for the loved ones of Miss Mendoza and wish them strength and comfort during this sad time.🙏🏼

Sometimes we should pay more attention to everything around us even our pets behavior, if you can see in the video the smaller dog black color was refusing to continue walking but the lady pulled the doggie's leash forward and the dog had no other option than keep walking, animals sense the danger better than any human could, it's very sad.

You are right. One of the dog didn’t seem to want to go. Dogs can sense danger.
I live directly on the Gulf of Mexico in SW Florida. We are the lightning capital of the world and endure tragedies like this all too often. I am often stunned and angry by the foolishness of tourists who think nothing of frolicking in the waves with their children as one of our incredibly fast moving storms roars in. People just don't bloody get it, and I've truthfully lost count of the number of occasions I've had to race into these storms to plead/ pull them off the beach. The worst are the ones who "poo-poo" my warnings, despite the black skies and flashing bolts directly overhead. Our last (local) lightning strike fatality was 3 years ago, and it's something I never hope to witness again. An "invincible" teen was boogie-boarding with friends one moment and dead the next. His two friends suffered irreversible physical and emotional damage, with both in cardiac arrest at the scene and one having to undergo a double amputation of his legs several weeks later. It's just NOT worth it, folks! If you HEAR thunder, STAY INSIDE. It's as simple as that.

A lot of people saying there is nothing she could have done. But she could have been safe and stayed indoors, maybe take the dogs out to do their business and that’s it.
It looked like she walked into the middle of a flat, barren field with no telephone poles or buildings nearby during a thunderstorm. She probably had some indication that there was a storm. She could have kept herself and her dogs safe and the least we can all do is learn something from her unfortunate mistake and not do the same.

About ten years ago, I went for a walk alone on Christmas morning. Shortly after I arrived at a park a couple miles from my house, a violent thunderstorm rolled in. No rain but lightning everywhere and nowhere to go. I don't think I've ever been more scared for my life. Be aware of the weather before you go out, people.
How incredibly sad! God bless the family and the dogs.
A couple of years ago I met a man who had been struck by lightning and survived. He was a quantity surveyor. He was working with a colleague beside a large pit when the lightening struck He said it was like being hit by a massive, heavy, hammer. It left him with memory problems and he had to take early retirement.
I know a guy in Los Alamos that was struck by lightning. He was on the outside steps of an apartment when the lightning struck. He too had cognitive problems plus physical issues and had to quit working.

Many of us don’t know how we will leave this earth in our final moments but the people who lack empathy, ridicule or make fun of this women should hope their time will not be slow and painful.
I had to amputate my left arm after struck by lightning in Ho Chi Minh City.
You think getting struck by lightning is painless???@
@@dewilew2137 I PRANKED YOU HAHA
@@dewilew2137 that's all you took away from the comment?
Nice comment Rose. Seems there are a lot of heartless people in this world.
My moms mom got struck by lighting in Mexico and died instantly I never got the chance to ever meet her so sad to hear about this prayers for their family and friends
@BEASTGAMER 101
I'm sorry you didn't get to meet her 😔 Please seek Jesus & accept him as your Savior into your heart, people roll their eyes & want nothing to do with him, but I promise you he is coming back as he promised, & all prophecies regarding the Last days are coming true. I feel you have suffered enough, so don't be one of the ones stuck here during the trib.
moms mom? your grandmom?
@@wickedhouston5538 Yes, that's what he means.
I hope they find, arrest, and prosecute the lightning responsible for this murder.
Terrible! What are the chances of getting hit by lightning and get killed along with both dogs? Unbelievable!
My condolences. There’s really nothing we can do in life as there’s literally million ways to die. That’s why I pray everyday and give thanks after a safe trip, coz anything can happen.
In this case, stay inside during a thunderstorm. Easy peasy.
Sh!t happened all the time..
@@Caseytify what about the millions of things that can kill you inside? How do you hide from a stroke or heart attack? You can’t control this shit, when it’s your time it’s your time
Amen 🙏
@@Caseytify the chances of getting struck by lightning are exponentially less than getting hit by a drunk driver or falling asleep at the wheel and dying. I’m sure it wasn’t pouring down and blowing wind and rain sideways. It was a thunderstorm and it was just her time. You can’t avoid when it’s your time. No matter how safe you think you are.
8 seconds of “sheer terror”??? Easily scared huh?
And you’ve obviously never heard a bomb go off of you think that sounds like one.
Stop trying to whip up drama where there is little
Talk about a freak accident! My hope is that her & her fur babies didn’t suffer. So sad to hear about this. It’s especially scary because I have always loved thunderstorms, they relax me like a powerful drug. I give my condolences to her family & friends.
Nope. Once that bolt strikes you. That's it.
Of course they didn't suffer.
It happens in a matter of seconds.
Nah she wouldn’t have suffered , it happens so fast 💨 you literally don’t know what hit you . No pun intended , God sais we are all going but unfortunately we just don’t know how or when , as a spiritualist , I believe it was divine timing for her to be there , because if it wasn’t her time to go her angels 👼 would have have intervened , I know I had a divine intervention ….we all have a purpose here and when that purpose has been fulfilled well your on the next train 🚂
@@TheEmpress-jy4rp I guess u r right it's just the way her and her furbabies left was just very sad I just wished she her furbabies stayed home.😥💔🕊
@@user1.8.2. Milliseconds. My condolences to the woman's family, friends and her community. I'm not trying to sound crass, but she and the pups were probably dead before they hit the ground.
RIP sweet lady and her dogs 😥🙏
So so sad, condolences from uk.
You never know how you're going to die. we're all born the same way but there is a million ways to die. At least this was instant and she felt zero pain. We should all be so lucky Rest in peace
True, she got lucky. Alot of people die slow painful deaths.
zero pain? she got lit up like some quesadillas
@@wickedhouston5538 I had an uncle uncle that had his toes all blown off he was hit by lightning in the arm went down his body and blew off every toe and his left foot he had surgery and he survived and it was extremely painful hopefully she went quickly
You don't always die instantly from a lightning strike. She could've been struck and then suffered for a while before dieing.
@@danieldevito6380 Well I hope she didn't feel any pain. Rest in piece.
