Four people escaped serious injury when they apparently were stuck by lightning late Saturday afternoon on the grounds of the Mohonk Mountain House during a severe thunderstorm.

The same storm knocked out power to about 13,000 Central Hudson customers.

A woman also reportedly was struck by lightning at the Rondout Valley Campground in the Kerhonkson-Accord area, and she, too, appeared to not be badly hurt.

At Mohonk, which is on Mountain Rest Road in New Paltz, three adults and a child were hiking on the grounds when the storm rolled in about 5:45 p.m., according to Jackie Appledorn, the resort's general manager.

Appledorn told The Associated Press that all four had their feet in water - though not the property's main lake - when lightning struck, causing all of them to get an electrical charge. The four were conscious and seemingly not badly hurt when they got back to Mohonk's main building, Appledorn told the AP.

Appledorn said the four were visiting Mohonk for the evening and were not overnight guests at the resort. A dispatcher at the Ulster County 911 incident said all four were taken by ambulance to Kingston Hospital.

Neither Appledorn nor the dispatcher was able to provide the people's names.

In the Rondout Valley Campground incident, which happened earlier in the day, the woman who was struck reportedly was conscious and alert and sitting in the facility's main office by the time an ambulance arrived. Further details were not available late Saturday.

The storm swept across the south-central part of Ulster County between 5:15 and 5:45 p.m. and then moved across the Hudson River into Dutchess County, knocking our power in spots along the way by bringing down trees and power lines.

Central Hudson spokesman Paul Tesoro said 13,000 customers lost electricity in the utility's eight-county coverage area, with Ulster, Dutchess and Putnam counties bearing the brunt of the damage.

In Ulster County, there were outages in Marbletown, Napanoch, Ellenville, New Paltz, Lloyd and Marlborough, Tesoros said. He said repair crews would work through Saturday night and into today to get the electricity restored.

Saturday's storm came just four days after severe weather knocked out electricity to more than 30,000 Central Hudson customers in the region. The last of those customers didn't get their power back until Friday.

Also during Saturday's storm, a lightning strike caused an attic fire at the Riverview Condominiums in Port Ewen shortly after 6 p.m., according to Paul Pitt, assistant chief of the Port Ewen Fire Department.

Pitt said the fire, reported after two people in the home smelled smoke, "was restricted to just one apartment but forced us to tear up the ceilings." He also said water damage has made the unit unihabitable.

There were no injuries in the blaze, and firefighters were done at the scene about 8:35 p.m., Pitt said.

The Ulster Hose, Esopus and St. Remy fire departments also were at the scene.
