‘The next minute my wife was lying on the floor. I received a mild shock,’ said a distraught Leandro Lopes Santos.

According to the Biavati, another sister who was standing near to Roseangela when the lightning struck received a black eye.

‘We are in a state of shock. My brother-in-law is devastated by the sudden death of his wife. We can’t believe how it happened – it could have been any one of us,’ the victim’s brother said.
