Lightning Strikes Whole Family

A German family is recovering after a grandma, her daughter and daughter-in-law, and two grandsons, aged six and nine, were struck by lightning this week, the Local reports. The family was bringing outdoor furniture and toys inside during a storm when the daughter-in-law felt "some tingling from head to toe," she told newspaper Bild, per the BBC. "There was chaos. Everybody was just acting on autopilot. A few minutes later the ambulance arrived." All suffered minor injuries with the exception of the 9-year-old, whose situation was more serious. He had to be resuscitated in the yard by his father and grandpa, and was admitted to the hospital in serious condition.
