12-year-old girl Ella was taking a usual visit at her grandparent’s home. She was just going outside. A storm was happening, and suddenly lightning struck(闪电击中) her.

“It just seemed like any other normal day when it rains here,” Ella’s father Steven Jorgensen said. He shared that Ella was stepping outside to play with a friend when thunder started to rumble(发出隆隆声). In a few seconds, lightning struck Ella.

Luckily, doctors believe that the lightning didn’t hit Ella directly, but near her. It took her down right away. Her father, who used to be a marine(海军陆战队士兵) , took action to save her at once. Though Steven was well trained, it was a bit scary when it was his own daughter.

“I got her heart back going, I got her breathing, but it was only for a very short time. I lost it again,” Steven said. “I started again, and then I got her heart beating back again for a little bit longer.” Ella’s heart stopped 3 times, and each time her father brought her back using CPR.

Ella doesn’t remember much about the accident. She was rushed to the hospital and things were happening very quickly. Her parents explained to her what happened. Steven said, “I told the news to her that she got struck by lightning. She didn’t believe me at first. After she was better, her mom told her again. She just looked at her mom and said, ‘I’m going to have a cool story to tell forever now!’”
