Report of a person struck by lighting near the infield at the Erie County Fair. Patient is up and walking but is experiencing chest pains.
*Remember: if you can hear thunder, you\u2019re close enough to be struck by lightning. Although it\u2019s very rare for a person to be struck by lighting it still can happen. When thunder roars, go indoors!”, said the Facebook post from WNY Incdents<\/a>.<\/p>\n
