A man in New York is struck by lightning while walking outdoors during a thunderstorm, according to reports. The incident is described as occurring as he holds an umbrella and is moving along the street, after which he is able to stagger to get help.
The accounts describe the man’s continued ability to move briefly after the strike and indicate he attempts to reach assistance rather than waiting at the scene. The reports place the event in the context of his travel to a nearby appointment, with one outlet saying he is headed to a dentist appointment. While details beyond the basic sequence are limited in the provided text, both accounts focus on the unusual circumstances—using an umbrella in a storm—and the fact that the man survives and seeks help afterward.
