CANONSBURG, Pa. (AP) — An 11-year-old western Pennsylvania girl is recovering after she was struck by a bolt from the blue.

Lisa Wehrle tells the Observer-Reporter newspaper of Washington, Pa., that the sun was shining when her daughter, Britney, was struck by lightning Friday, apparently from a storm several miles away.

Lisa Wehrle says, "There was no rain. It was a beautiful day. All she heard was some thunder."

The lightning hit Britney as she was walking down a hill in North Strabane Township with a friend about 2:30 p.m. that day. The bolt hit her on the left shoulder, leaving a burn-like mark and exited her wrist, where it left another mark.

She was treated at a Pittsburgh hospital. Doctors discovered her arm was broken, but otherwise she's OK.

I can just see the kid asking the doctor "does this mean I'll get superpowers ? when do you think they'll kick in ?"...

My old buddy Greg kinda got religion in a similar way, he accidently cracked a stained glass window in a local church horsing around, and the next day lightning hit his house - oh yeah, he got religion in a hurry, not that it helped him much, but it was kind of ironic.
