Woman struck by lightning in Superior identified, still in critical condition

A woman struck by lightning in Superior this week has been identified and is still in critical condition, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office said Saturday morning.

The Denver Post
@ai6yr Boulder County Sheriffs Office also said that, in addition to not having ID and her phone being fried, she suffered physical trauma that would make photo identification challenging (to my knowledge, he did not elaborate further, but was responding to people asking why they weren’t sharing her picture with the public to help with identification). So it sounds pretty bad, I do hope she pulls through. Lightning is a real danger in Colorado, this could happen to any of us.
