Just saw this on CNN. It's only a one sentence report. If anyone hears anything else could you please post!

Prayers for all that were injured and their families!

I saw this one a retweet from Jim Cantore at the Weather channel. It said that 8 people were injured when lighting struck Discovery Cove. Let me see if I can find a link.

by Casey Morris


A lighting strike at Sea World Discovery Cove in Orlando sent 8 to local medical facilities on Tuesday.

Those affected included 3 park guests and 5 employees. At their time of transport, all 8 were conscious and alert and were taken in as a precaution.

We'll have more updates as this story develops.
