Kimberly Krone from Forney, Texas is a true miracle. In June 2009, she was struck by lightning while in her kitchen. Despite being hit with the powerful force of electricity, she managed to survive and still feels the effects of the incident today.
Krone was in the middle of making dinner for her six children when the lightning bolt came through her recessed light and hit her. She remembers feeling an intense heat and pressure before being thrown across the room. After being rushed to the hospital, doctors were amazed that she had survived with only minor injuries.
Krone says that since the lightning strike, she has been able to sense when storms are coming. She claims that her body tingles and her hair stands on end when a storm is approaching. This phenomenon has been studied by scientists for years and is known as ‘lightning awareness’. It occurs when people who have been struck by lightning become more sensitive to changes in atmospheric pressure and humidity which can indicate an upcoming storm. Her family has grown used to her warnings and take them seriously as they know it could save their lives one day.
Krone’s story has been featured in several publications including The Mirror, CBS News, HuffPost, and Lad Bible among others. Her story is one of resilience and hope that no matter how difficult life may seem at times there is always something special inside us that can help us get through it all.
Krone’s story also highlights the importance of taking safety precautions during thunderstorms such as staying indoors and avoiding contact with metal objects or water sources like pools or lakes which can attract lightning strikes. It’s important to remember that even if you’re inside your home, you should still be careful as lightning can travel through electrical wiring or plumbing systems so it’s best to unplug any appliances or electronics just in case.
