"I told my son I'm going to bronze those flip-flops," she said. "I swear."

Thus ruining their insulating properties. Duh.

my mom always had us put on our sneakers inside the house during thunderstorms. Some say it’s an old wives tale...

I think I’d keep my flip flops rubberized just in case.

Her toaster is toast!

Lucky crackpot.

I guess she’s lucky that she selected the flip-flops that are dielectric insulators good for 50,000 volt airborne electrical discharges.

Didja hear about the guy who got struck by lightning in the foot?

It welded his zipper together.

“I felt the earth move under my feet,”

She out to write a song about her experience.

...sending a jolt of electricity through her body.

She believes the rubber in her flip-flops kept her insulated from the strike.

Does anyone else see the contradiction here?

Wasn’t there a woman a year or two ago who was struck by lightning, but her insulated footwear prevented the charge from exiting through her legs? The bolt instead left through her, um, hind parts, so it was painful, but not fatal.
