Lightning strike debris narrowly misses Louisiana woman

A lightning strike in Morgan City sent debris into four homes, but Sarah Ribardi was able to duck fast enough to avoid getting hurt.

The incident went down in the small town of Morgan City, Louisiana — about 86 miles west of New Orleans — where home security footage captured the moment Sarah Ribardi came incredibly close to being struck by wood shrapnel that came flying in her direction after the tree near her home was reduced to rubble in less than a second.

Watch the video … it’s incredible the woman was able to immediately run back inside after the huge tree splintered. The video, shot Friday, shows a nanosecond of a bright flash … and then a deafening crack.

Scary stuff.
