Lightning strikes 3 people at Alpine valley

Posted on 07/06/2003 4:03:06 PM PDT by robjna

My son just called me a little bit ago as he is at the Dave Matthews concert at Alpine Valley near East Troy WI. He said 3 guys were laying on the ground and were blue as there girlfriends were hysterical and crying. He said he was waiting out the storm in his car when he heard a deafing strike right by them, he went out to investigate the commotion when he happened upon the guys before medics arrived. I have been searching the news but have heard nothing , can someone help me out with details?

Someone at a big concert should know CPR but it sounds like everyone was just standing around.

Illinois and Indiana are getting pounded by severe storms... I'm surprised they didn't cancel at an outdoor venue.

The Western Open just outside Chicago has been postponed repeatedly the last few days...

So the medics did arrive? If they were still alive when the medics got there, there is a good chance for survival. No one knew CPR? They were just standing around crying?

If they were standing up and walking around but still blue, I'd say they had too much colloidal silver for lunch.
