Summer is a busy time for lighting strikes, which kill about 20 people and injure many others across the United States each year, officials said.

David Robinson, New Jersey’s state climatologist, said Wednesday’s lightning strike that killed one person and injured 14 others was a rare occurrence. The strike at the Black Knights Bow Benders Archery Range in Jackson killed Robert Montgomery, 61 of Cinnaminson, and injured over a dozen Cub Scouts, one as young as 7.

Heat and humidity fueled a dazzling lightning show across the Washington and Baltimore region on Wednesday night.

The bolt struck local archers and a boy scout troop in New Jersey, killing one man and injuring 13 other people. Friends of the victims said the strike had come out of nowhere.

Norwegian Olympic skier Audun Groenvold, who won the bronze at the 2010 Vancouver Games, died this week after being struck by lightning. He was 49.

A lightning strike has been confirmed as the cause of the fire at Grace Heights Health and Rehabilitation in Morganton on July 13.

Fire officials in Overland Park say a lightning strike is the likely cause of a large fire that destroyed a home early Thursday morning. Crews responded around 3:30 a.m. after an intrusion alarm alerted first responders.
