Tragedy struck this weekend in Rocky Mountain National Park as two separate lightning strikes, just 24 hours apart, claimed two lives and injured others. Unfortunately, this kind of incident is not as unusual as one would think with over 30% of all lightning fatalities occurring in the month of July, according to the National Weather Service.
