Default Two people dead after Brecon Beacons lightning strikes



Two people are dead, and two others are in hospital, following separate lightning strikes in the Brecon Beacons in Powys, Wales

Emergency services were called to areas around Pen y Fan in the national park at midday on Sunday.

Two individuals were airlifted to hospital in Merthyr Tydfil with what were described initially as life-threatening injuries.

Two others are also being treated - one at a specialist burns unit in Swansea.

I am amazed that, looking at the forecast for that day, how anyone thought hillwalking was a good idea?
