When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors
Promoting Lightning Awareness
|
Ellen Bryan became an advocate for lightning safety after her sister, Christina, was struck by lightning in 2000. Christina's injuries from the lightning strike were very severe - leaving her without the ability to move or speak. Ellen is telling Christina's story for her, and educating people about the dangers of lightning.
