There's a rule that exists among meteorologists and weather folks that says if you can hear thunder, take cover because you could get hit by lightning.
And if you happen to find yourself at a sporting event when a thunderstorm rolls in. Well, you need to take cover, which is easier said than done.
Lt. Stu Tudor of the Columbus (OH) Fire Department is in an area hospital in critical condition after being struck by lightning in the parking lot of a Columbus Crew (MLS) soccer game.
According to WBNS-TV in Columbus, a man who took cover in a nearby portable toilet said he could feel the electricity and it sounded like a bomb going off. The man told the TV station he opened the door and saw Tudor lying on the ground.
The Crew postponed Saturday nights game, delaying it to Sunday afternoon though the forecast for the area says there is a very good chance more thunderstorms will be in the area.

BREAKING: Crew MF Urso Found Dead
((HT: WBNS-TV Columbus))
The MLS' Columbus Crew have confirmed the death of 22-year-old midfielder Kirk Urso. Team spokesman Marco Rosa says details of Urso's death are still being determined.
According to Adam Jardy at the Columbus Dispatch, Urso was at the Park Street Patio restaurant when police were called a little before 1AM. He was transported to hospital where he was pronounced dead an hour later.
Urso was injured and did not accompany the team for its 1-0 loss to D.C. United in Washington. He was in his first season with the team. He was a member of the University of North Carolina's title-winning team last fall.
The Crew released a statement this morning:
"While the circumstances of Urso’s passing are still being determined, no further comments will be made at this time. The thoughts and prayers of the entire Columbus Crew and Hunt Sports Group are with the Urso family in this time of need."
