Five persons were struck by lightning yesterday in Central Park and a sixth was struck on the beach in Jacob Rils Park, Queens. The five in Central Park were standing at or near a baseball diamond at 100th Street, near the center of the park.
The National Weather Service advises staying away from telephones and other electrical equipment during a lightning storm. If caught outdoors people are advised to stay away from trees but to seek refuge inside caves, ditches or hollows or to lie flat in an open field.
