19-Year-Old Felt 'a Little Numb, a Little Tingly' After Surviving Lightning Strike While Running

A 19-year-old New Jersey man survived a lightning strike that left him motionless for several minutes, his parents told local outlets.

“Right when I woke up, it felt like something major just happened,” Brandon toldABC 6. “I had no pain, I was a little numb, a little tingly. I don’t know if that was adrenaline or all that electricity running through my body.”

Beth Tunny, who arrived on the field after the incident, agreed that Brandon’s adrenaline was “running pretty high.”

Brandon was taken to Morristown Medical Center, where he was later released. He is now recovering at home.

“He woke up this morning with a severe headache,” Jack told NewJersey.com. “But other than that, he’s fine. It was an indirect hit and there were no (visible) injuries.”

Survivors of lightning strikes can experience cardiac arrest, severe burns, hearing loss and neurological afflictions that may lead topersonality changes, mood swings and memory loss.
