From lightning to under the lights

HAYDEN - The Hayden woman jolted by lightning last month will be featured on "The Doctors" today.

Stephanie Rey's interview will air on KXLY at 2 p.m. A video of the incident has had widespread views on the Internet.

"My phone flew out of my hand from the jolt and landed about 10 feet away," the 46-year-old Rey said. "It was kind of like someone had a string attached to my phone and yanked it out of my hand. That was a little freaky."

C.C. Weske, 21, Rey's daughter, is a video editor from Los Angeles. When she went outside to capture video during the North Idaho storm, Rey decided to get a video of her daughter.

Then lightning struck between the two, temporarily injuring Rey. She said her arms and legs tingled for about six hours.

Rey manages a printer service and repair company in Los Angeles from her Hayden home.

Rey's interview on "The Doctors" was taped Aug. 29 in Los Angeles. During the trip, both she and Weske were also interviewed for an Australian show called "Sunrise."

There have been 21 lightning fatalities this year in the United States, according to the National Weather Service.
