From Accuweather: Two men died in Pennsylvania while under a tree stand. The statistics show that July is the deadliest month for lightning deaths in the USA. "Data from the National Lightning Safety Council (NLSC) show that the two fatalities increase the current year’s total lightning deaths for the United States to seven. Three of those deaths have occurred in July, which has historically been the most dangerous month of the year for fatal lightning strikes. Over the past 10 years, an average of eight people are killed by lightning each July."
