NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) – One person was injured in Lower Manhattan on Thursday morning when lighting struck a building during severe weather, fire officials said.
The FDNY responded just after 10 a.m. to 80 Pine St. in the Financial District following the lightning strike.
It’s unclear if the person was hit by debris from the building or injured in some other way.
They were taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, the FDNY said.
Their condition was not known.
The building was struck as a drenching storm rolled through the city, leading to a Severe Thunderstorm Warning and temporary ground stops at area airports.
