A Monterey County father and his two children are recovering from being struck by lightning on a Labor Day backpacking trip to Sequoia National Forest.

Chris Lovera and his two children, Aidan, 12, and Nadia, 9, were caught in a storm at Jennie Lake during their first family backpacking trip, the Monterey Herald reported. The Pacific Grove family just hiked six miles on a trail when it began to pour, and Lovera stopped to take a short video of the experience and post it to Facebook.
