CASPER, Wyoming — In remission from brain cancer, Savannah Boone and her Dad Joe, were driving from Indiana to Idaho. However, when they crossed the Wyoming border on Interstate 80, the clouds began to darken.
“We saw a lightning strike, and I said wow Dad that was close,” Savannah tells K2 News. “Will it hit us?”
Within minutes lightning struck their car, knocking out 3 tires, shattering windows, and deploying the airbags. The truck is likely to be a total loss, but miraculously neither of them were seriously hurt.
Listen to their story in the video above.
