Lightning
Killed Mother Front of Her Family While Trying to Save Her Son : A
36-year-old mother of one was killed in front of her family when she was
struck by lightning on a Brazilian beach.
Rosangela Biavati died on a spot, when she was hit by
the bolt of
electricity during a trip to Guaruja, a popular seaside resort on the
coast of Sao Paulo.
In the first picture we may notice a woman heading towards the water
with outstretched arms to warn her 11-year-old son to get out of the
water because of the gathering storm overhead. The next image captures
the lightning streaking down.
A white Mitsubishi pickup hides the exact moment of electricity
discharge striking the victim. As she stepped into the water she was hit
by a single bolt of lightning.
The next pictures show the tragic outcome.
Three men, including the victim’s husband (in white swimming trucks), drag her lifeless body onto the beach.
According to Rosângela’s husband, his wife had gone to tell his son
and nephews, who were swimming in the sea, to get out because of the bad
weather.
“The weather started to close in and we decided to leave. I was putting our bags into the car, and the kids were on the beach.
“The next minute my wife was lying on the floor. I received a mild shock,” said a distraught Leandro Lopes Santos.
The victim’s brother Elias Biavati noted that all happened in a
second, and he saw his late sister had been already lying on the ground
and people were trying to revive her by massaging her heart.
According to Biavati, another sister who was standing near to Roseangela when the lightning struck received a black eye.
“We are in a state of shock. My brother-in-law is devastated by the sudden death of his wife. We can’t believe how it happened – it could have been any one of us,” the victim’s brother said.
A total of 13 members, all from the same family, had gone to the
beach for the day. They arrived at midday but by 3 p.m. the sunny
weather had changed as storm clouds gathered and the weather became
overcast and the atmosphere heavy.
Café owner Arionaldo Garrido, who was on the beach, said he quickly realised something was wrong:
“We had taken our tables inside because we could see a storm was
coming. Several rays had already flashed across the sky and streaked
down,” he recalled.
“Suddenly we heard a loud bang and saw several people running. We
knew that something terrible had happened. It’s a real tragedy for the
family who have lost a wife and mother.”
