Three refugees from Syria who were in the center of Sofia in Bulgaria were killed when lightning strike he struck the tree under which they were sitting. The victims were aged 20-30, while another Syrian who was with them is hospitalized in serious condition.
According to public radio BNR, a man was also injured by lightning in a public garden in the western suburbs of the Bulgarian capital.
About 800 lightning bolts struck Sofia within an hour, according to the meteorological service. The hail caused power outages and flooding in houses and underpasses.
The chance of someone being struck by lightning is 1 in 1 million, according to estimates by the US Department of Health. “When lightning strikes, you must take refuge in a safe place. Trees are certainly not safe places,” the fire department reminded in August, when three people were struck by lightning and killed in front of the White House in Washington.
