Alabama teen zapped by lightning strike through phone charger inside her home

A teenager in Alabama experienced a temporary memory loss after a lightning bolt traveled through her electrical outlet while she was using her phone during a storm on Sunday.

Lisa Henderson, 19, believed she was safe inside her home in Russellville as she was browsing social media in bed. However, reports indicate she witnessed a flash of light and endured an unexpected shock.

“I was watching a video when it happened,” she explained to Times Daily. “Then I heard a sudden loud pop, followed by ringing in my ears.”

She said she was also hit with tingling in her hands as the discomfort reached her right arm and then her shoulder.

She realized a bolt of lightning reached her through an extension cord and the charger she was using while holding onto her phone.

“Luckily, I thought to throw my phone,” Henderson recalled to 19 News. “If I would’ve kept it, I could’ve been electrocuted even more than I was.”

As an ambulance took her to the hospital, she couldn’t remember basic details about her life.

“I tried telling them my name, I had trouble with that, I tried telling them my age, I almost said 18, but I’m 19, so it took me a minute to process my age,” Henderson told the station.

Her fiancé, Conner Welborn, told the Times Daily that Henderson was “bawling her eyes out” in the aftermath.

But the couple is grateful the damage was mitigated thanks to the position she was laying on the bed.

She was on her right side, which made it harder for the electrical current to reach her heart, according to doctors.

“They said if I was a little bit smaller and if it was on the other side, it probably would have done more damage because that’s closer to the heart,” Henderson told the newspaper.

Henderson, who claims she was also shocked by lightning as a child, took the recent nerve-wracking experience in stride.

She reportedly told her family over text, “Hey, if you want to know how my day went, it was a shocking experience.”
