PENSACOLA, Fla. - Talk about a rough first day: A freshman at the University of West Florida was walking to class when she got struck by lightning.Emma Eggler, 18, is feeling lucky this week. “A lot of doctors told me I should buy a lottery ticket because I was lucky,” she said.
The Birmingham, Alabama, student was struck by lightning on Monday, her first day of college as a freshman.“I did not feel anything, at all really. I just woke up on the ground,” Eggler said.“My shirt was like completely open,” Eggler said. “Because of the lightning strike, it melted to me.”The electricity went down to her foot, putting a hole in her sock and one in her sneaker.
“I was able to get my backpack off me. But I could not feel my legs at all, and I was scared I was paralyzed, and I was really panicking,” Eggler said.Libbert started talking to her to calm her down. He said that he told her, “I would be freaking out over this, but you, you’re so strong, you’re a strong freshman. I know this is a tough first day, but believe it or not, but you’re going to make it through this.”The doctors told her parents she was lucky the bolt didn’t stop her heart.
“We definitely feel like God performed a miracle for her. That is the only explanation for why she is still with us,” said Erin Eggler, Emma Eggler’s mother. Emma Eggler has been released from the hospital and has regained movement in her legs. She is expected to return to classes next week.
