000 NOUS45 KPUB 232226 PNSPUB Public Information Statement National Weather Service Pueblo CO 400 PM MDT FRI JUN 23 2017 Colorado lightning safety awareness week continues through tomorrow. Today we discuss lightning medical issWRKues for survivors. In Colorado, on average, three people are killed by lightning while 13 are injured. Last year, two people were killed by lightning in the Centennial state while 7 were injured. While any lightning fatality is tragic, injuries caused by lightning can be devastating to both the victim and the family. For those who have a family member or relative that suffers a significant disability from lightning, life changes forever. In addition to the physical pain and mental anguish suffered by the victim and their family, the incident may lead to a loss of income for all involved as medical expenses can drain the families financial resources. For more information on the medical issues of lightning survivors, point your web browser to, www.weather.gov/pub and in the news headline section, click on the lightning safety web link and choose Fridays statement.
