A quick-thinking 10-year-old girl used the power of social media to save her father’s life. Gregory Vance was sitting on his front porch with two friends when a severe storm swept through West Virginia. A huge tree came down, trapping Vance and the other men. The family doesn’t have a landline and the storm
knocked out cell phone service. Unable to call 911, his daughter Brianna posted a plea for help on Facebook.
“The lightning crashed and hit a tree by our porch and my dad’s almost dead,” she cried. “He needs an ambulance, please. Please call one for us if you have signal.”A Good Samaritan notified firefighters who freed all three men and took them to the hospital. Gregory suffered from a broken back, ribs and shoulder.
Despite his injuries, Gregory said he's thankful his daughter wasn't hurt.
