Dramatic doorbell video captured the moment a Florida mother, Jessika Gonzalez, narrowly escaped a lightning strike on June 27. The footage shows Gonzalez unloading her car when a series of bright flashes illuminated the sky.
As she hurried inside her home, a lightning bolt struck a neighbor's yard directly behind her, instantly igniting a fire in the grass. Gonzalez described the experience, telling Storyful, “I felt like a firecracker was lit next to me and the sparks were hitting me.” She recounted running into the garage amid the sounds of her children screaming.
Gonzalez was unharmed in the incident, and there were no immediate reports of significant damage. The event highlights the dangers of severe weather, even during seemingly ordinary daily activities.
