WINTER GARDEN, Fla. (WSVN) — A couple who were struck by lightning in Central Florida are now recovering following the incident.
Aaron and Clare Walenga were walking along a path in Winter Garden on Sept. 2 when they were hit, which caused nearby joggers to rush to help them.
Aaron Walenga recounted his experience afterward.
“I couldn’t move my limbs. I couldn’t respond the way I wanted to. I wanted to get to Claire, and I just couldn’t get up. I couldn’t really move. And I was in the worst pain of my life,” he said.
The accident forced the husband and wife to spend several days in the hospital.
Both are expected to make a full recovery.
