Amber Escudero-Kontostathis was among four people hospitalized after a lightning strike in Lafayette Square this month. The other three died.
Escudero-Kontostathis approached them as part of her work with the International Rescue Committee, canvassing the area for donations to help refugees in Ukraine. They bonded over the Muellers’ home state of Wisconsin, where Escudero-Kontostathis had recently traveled for a family reunion, and the joys of visiting the Green Bay Packers stadium, Escudero-Kontostathis recalled.She recommended that they check out the National Museum of African American History and Culture and Planet Word while in D.
“I have this guilt of, ‘Why did I make it?’ ” she said. “I try to calm myself with gratitude of, ‘Well, I did, so I’m not going to waste it.’ ” About an hour later, she and the three others ended up sheltering from the pouring rain under a tall, leafy tree about 100 feet from the statue of Andrew Jackson, officials have said. Experts recorded a lightning flash in the area as six individual surges of electricity hit the same point on the ground within half a second.
Experts warn that standing under a tree in such conditions can be dangerous. When a tree is hit by an electrical charge, moisture and sap easily conduct the electricity and carry it to the surrounding ground,If the electricity struck the tree first, experts said, hundreds of millions of volts would have passed through the tree before traveling into and over the bodies of those beneath it.
