episode_narrativeA nine-year-old boy escaped serious injury when he was indirectly struck by lightning during an outdoor party in Laubach Park in Salisbury Township. A utility pole was apparently struck by lightning. The boy was holding a string to a balloon that was tied to a steel bicycle rack that was chained to the utility pole. He was knocked to the ground. In Allentown, lightning struck a large willow tree and snapped it. The tree fell across Federal Street and blocked it. The tree also tore down power lines and caused outages to 1,816 Pennsylvania Power and Light (PPL) customers. PPL reported about an additional 1,100 of its customers also lost power in the Lehigh Valley because of lightning. Most power was restored by 6 p.m. EDT that evening.
