SHE’S the “little Flash Gordon” who miraculously cheated death.

    Kimberly Gordon was delivered by emergency Cesarean section a year ago after her mother was struck by lightning in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the United States.

    But not only did the 1-year-old girl survive the electrical jolt, she now still has static hair.

    “Everybody we’ve seen says it’s a miracle that she’s alive,” her father, Ian Gordon, said.

    On July 4 last year, Ian Gordon and his 38-weeks-pregnant girlfriend Kendra Villanueva were watching the Independence Day fireworks when they were hit by a thunderbolt from the blue.

    ABC News reported the thunderbolt traveled through Gordon’s ear before jumping to Villaneuva’s body and leaving through her thumb.

    The pair were rushed to the University of New Mexico Hospital, where Villaneuva was induced and gave birth to little Kimberly. She was two weeks out from her due date.

    More than a year on, Kimberly still has neurological damage from the lightning strike. She can’t sit up, crawl or digest food properly.

    Doctors don’t know when she will begin to walk and talk as the case is so unusual. It is not clear why the child’s hair is still static.

    “It’s hard seeing she can’t eat like she’s supposed to and can’t have food yet, just through the [feeding] tube. But other than that I’m glad she lived through it all,” Villanueva said.

    However doctors said it was extraordinary that the little girl could survive such a shock.

    According to IBTimes, an emergency medical technician who treated Villanueva and Gordon said there have only been 11 incidents on record of a pregnant woman getting struck by lightning. Of those, only half of the newborns survived.

    And according to the National Lightning Safety Institute, there is a 1 in 280,000 chance of being struck by lightning. (SD-Agencies)
