Lightning Strike in Gilmanton - 23 sent to Hospital

Quote:
BELMONT, N.H. —Twenty-three Boy Scouts and three adults were transported to hospitals in Concord and Laconia after a lightning strike on their camp.
No one was directly hit but shortly afterward, several people reported some tingling and burning sensations.
They were triaged at the Belmont Fire Station.
Ambulances from several Lakes Region towns responded to assist.
Everybody was conscious and stable, according to Greg Osborn, director of marketing for the Daniel Webster Council, Boy Scouts of America
Osborn said all the Scouts were at the camp site and under shelter at the time of the strike
