25:24Now PlayingIsaiah Cormier and his girlfriend Juliet Moore were camping in Colorado when they heard a bit of thunder.
Moore had just taken shelter inside their tent. She called out to her boyfriend and stuck her head out of the tent. She saw Cormier lying face down on the ground.
She checked for a heartbeat and checked for breathing but didn’t see either. So she started chest compressions and CPR
Moore said Cormier gasped and woke up … but stopped breathing again.
Moore managed to get service to call 911 from the campsite. She said her cell phone only had two percent battery. A camper named Andy heard Moore’s calls for help and came sprinting up to the campsite.
Cormier eventually made it to the burn unit at University of Colorado Hospital. Doctors told Cormier how lucky he was to be alive. The lightning likely entered through Cormier’s neck and out his right foot.
He and Moore said they hope their story will inspire others to take a CPR class.
