Four people were taken to hospital Monday afternoon during the thunder and lightning storms that are rumbling across the City. The call came in from 360 Morningside Ave.about 3.20 p.m. Global News says the victims are conscious in hospital. A witness seen on CP24 said three adults and a child had been picnicking in Morningside Park and had huddled near or under a tree to escape the rain. Lighting struck the tree with some of the voltage impacting those under underneath it. Basic safety advice in lightning storms is to stay away from trees but not everyone knows this important information. There was apparently a second bolt which is believed to have struck an EMS vehicle but no one was hurt. Photo courtesy of Global News via Twitter.
