Lightning strikes praying woman

Clara Jean Brown's prayers may have been heard, but she may not be too sure by Whom.

While the Alabama woman stood in her kitchen praying for the safety of her family during a strong thunderstorm on Memorial Day, lightning exploded through the room, blowing a whole in the linoleum and blackening the concrete underneath. She dazed by the blast, but unharmed.

But while she prayed, lightning suddenly exploded, blowing through the linoleum and leaving a blackened area on the concrete. Brown and her 14-year-old granddaughter fell to the the floor as the lightning whizzed by them, dazed and disoriented by the blast, but otherwise uninjured.
