From CBC Nova Scotia:
A Cole Harbour, N.S., woman says she's feeling very lucky after being struck by lightning Saturday and escaping with no more than minor burns.
Amber Palmer and her women's softball team — the TBR Thunder — were at a field in Upper Tantallon, northwest of Halifax, when a storm rolled in.
"What happened was, I was locking up the canteen," said Palmer, 23. "We were having a fundraiser at the ball field and the building got struck as I was putting the key in the lock. So it came up my right arm, and down my right side and out my foot."
...Palmer was checked by paramedics and taken to hospital, where she stayed Saturday night.
"It feels like a sunburn," Palmer said. "It's not that bad. The worst is my muscles are just really tired."
Her clothes did not fare as well, she said. The shirt she was wearing has two large burn holes in it.
"My shorts were blown to pieces, and when we found my sock in the canteen the next day, it had a big hole in the bottom of it," she said.
