A family of four were injured, none seriously, Friday night after a tree at their camp site in Knoebels Campground was struck by lightning. The incident occurred at about 6 p.m. while the family was at their tent. The father was holding one of his children when lightning from a passing thunderstorm struck a nearby tree. The lighting reportedly passed from the tree into the man’s shoulder.
