Praying woman struck by lightning

By at 8:31 am Friday, Jun 2

On Memorial Day weekend, Clara Jean brown of Baldwin County, Alabama, prayed to the lord to protect her family from a storm in the area. Seemed like a good idea, until she said "Amen" and was struck by a bolt of lightning. From Associated Press:
The 65-year-old Brown said she is blessed to be alive.

Firefighters said its likely she was hit by a bolt of lightning that apparently struck outside and traveled into the house...

A family member said he will no longer assume it is safe to be indoors during a lightning strike.
The safety of praying is now up for debate though. Link
