Severe storms sweep Northeast, teen struck by lightning in Central Park A 15‑year‑old was struck by lightning in Central Park’s East Meadow around 3:40 p.m. on June 19, sheltering under a tree during a freak thunderstorm. He sustained minor burns, was treated at New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, and is alert, conscious, and in stable condition—with no nerve damage, considered “pretty lucky.” #Lightning #CentralPark #Northeast #Thunderstorms #NYC
