The lightning strike Saturday happened the day after five people were struck by lightning in Poughkeepsie. One of the Poughkeepsie victims died early Saturday. The 50-year-old man’s name was not immediately released. The other four victims were hospitalized.

The Poughkeepsie victims were at Mansion Square Park when a fast-moving thunderstorm hit around 4 p.m. Friday.

Few details were available about the Lake George lightning strike.

Lake George is at the base of the Adirondack Mountains about 60 miles north of Albany.
