North Stonington -
Several people were taken to the hospital yesterday after lightning struck a Connecticut golf course. The incident occurred as workers were clearing the green of water to prepare for a scheduled tournament.
One person died and two others were injured when they ignored one of the most basic rules about protecting yourself from a lightning strike: don't stand under a tree. The 50 year old pastor of a San Antonio church died instantly when hit by lightning.
A high school runner was killed by a lightning strike shortly before a track meet in Carbondale, Illinois. The National Weather Service didn't issue an advisory or a warning.
