Woman struck by lightning during a thunderstorm in Krk

Na hrvaškem otoku Krku je danes dopoldne zgodila huda nesreča, kjer je strela zadela žensko, ki je v času neurja nosila sončnik. Po prvim poročilih so jo prepoznali v kritičnem stanju in jo so prenašali z helikopterjem v bolnišnico na Reko. Očividci so poudarili, da je reševalec v bližini nemudoma začel oživljati žensko. Klinični bolnišnični center Reka je potrdil, da so poškodovano osebo sprejeli na urgentni oddelek, kjer je bilo tudi intenzivno neženje. Hrvaške oblasti opozarjajo, da je treba ob nevihtah in grmenju poiskati varno zavetje in izogibati se odprtim površinam in kovinskim predmetom. Vreme na Hrvaškem je v zadnjih dneh zelo nestanovitno, in mediji napovedujejo možnost neviht in močnejših nalivov.

A woman was struck by lightning while walking in a camp area on the island of Krk, Croatia, according to multiple local reports. The incident occurred during heavy rain and thunderstorms, and she was transported by helicopter to a hospital in Rijeka, where she is receiving intensive care. Witnesses described her as wearing a sunshade at the time of the strike. The event took place in one of the camps on Krk, which has been experiencing severe weather conditions. Local media reported that the woman was immediately attended to by a rescuer nearby before being evacuated via helicopter. According to one witness quoted by the Croatian portal 24sata, the woman was wearing a sunshade when the lightning struck. The rescuer began resuscitation efforts right away. In addition to the lightning strike, other areas around the Adriatic have faced similar weather challenges. On Sunday morning, a waterspout affected tourist camps in Lopara and Rapoća on Losinj, causing considerable disruption. A cleanup operation was carried out at the Rapoća camp, with all relevant services responding quickly. The head of the fire department unit from the Small Losinj, Marin Brčić, stated that they focused on the most urgent tasks, ensuring safe movement for residents, clearing the road, removing vehicles, and rescuing individuals trapped in holiday accommodations so that other services could continue their work uninterrupted. Two people were injured in the stormy conditions on Losinj, and both were flown by helicopter to the Rijeka Clinical Center. One required emergency surgery and remains on the intensive care unit, while the other was treated and released into home care. Hospital officials confirmed that the patient is recovering and not in life-threatening condition. Local authorities have issued reminders about safety measures during storms and thunderstorms. They advise avoiding high ground such as mountain peaks and hills, staying clear of tall trees and elevated terrain, and refraining from being near water surfaces. It is recommended to put down large metal objects like hiking poles or umbrellas, seek dry shelter, and take cover in a tent, building with lightning protection, or a vehicle. Avoid touching metallic objects or remaining under them. If caught outdoors during a storm, lie down and remain still until the storm passes. After the storm, wait at least 30 minutes in a shelter before resuming outdoor activities. Croatian meteorological services have warned of unstable weather conditions over the past few days, with forecasts indicating possible thunderstorms and heavier rainfall in the coming hours. Authorities continue to urge citizens to stay alert and follow safety guidelines during extreme weather events.

A woman was struck by lightning in a camp on Krk: "She was wearing an umbrella"

V kampu na otoku Krk je v žensko udarila strela, kar je povzročilo poškodbe, zaradi katerih jo so s helikopterjem prepeljali v bolnišnico v Reko, kjer jo zdravijo na intenzivni negi. Po poročanju hrvaškega portala 24 sata je incident zgodil se v enem izmed kampov, kjer je ženska nosila senčnik. Na istem območju so zaradi nestabilnega vremena nastali tudi razdejniki, kjer so bile vplivane tudi vode in nevihta. V kampih Lopari in Rapoća na Lošinju so potekale čistilne akcije, medtem ko so bile poškodovani dve osebi, ki sta jih prepoškodovali s helikopterjem. Članek vključuje tudi nasvete, kako se zaščititi pred udarom strele med nevihto.

Why factuality (65): The article reports that a woman was struck by lightning at a camp on Krk while wearing a sunshade. It mentions she was taken by helicopter to the hospital in Rijeka and is receiving intensive care. The information aligns with the cross-source consensus from other articles, but lacks specific detail
