It appears she didn’t make it…. Just saw the update on Fox weather. Unconscionable to think of losing a child. Prayers up for the family.

A parent should never have to bury a child. I can't even imagine. So sad

Scary, I frequently sit in a blind during bad weather, even thunderstorms with lightening. Seems that father and daughter had their blind set up in the woods edge and a close by tree was struck by lightening. We can all learn from this tragic accident. Hopefully, the family will get their miracle although it is very concerning that she was not breathing at the time the father woke up. Lack of oxygen for an extended time will impact recovery. So sad.
