A woman in Nong Khai said the special power of her Buddha amulet helped her survive a lightning strike last week that also killed a worker.
 

Pornnipha Ratyothee, 50, said on Friday that she suffered a mild burn on her neck when she was hit by a lightning strike on July 12 and had to be admitted to the Nong Khai Hospital for four days.

 

She said she was sitting under a tree at 2pm supervising workers who were repairing her house. It was raining lightly at that time.

 

One of the workers, who was standing beside a cement truck, was knocked unconscious by the lightning. He died two days later at the hospital.

 

Pornnipha said she remembers hearing lightning and then she suddenly passed. When she woke up she was in a vehicle and her relatives were taking her to hospital.

 

She said she was shocked to learn that she wasn't injured, apart from the mild burn on her neck.

 

Pornnipha said she believed she was saved by the Luang Por Phra Sai amulet she was wearing.

How far away was she from the unfortunate worker near the cement truck?

Well you can't dispute the scientific and logical reasoning she is using to  come up with that conclusion.

 Detractors might say getting hit by lightning is bad luck. Pfft what do they know?

Never mind the lightening amulet i will take the risk

However do they have one for dealing with the 'Clucking idiots" on the roads?

It is actually logical.

I know of a person that was working on high voltage electrical equipment.  His metal watch band touching ground prevented the high voltage form traveling further up his arm when his hand came into contact with the high voltage bus and killing him. He did have a serious burn where the watch was touching his skin.

And maybe the cement truck saved her life.

Lightning preferred it over the tree.
