Two county men survive lightning shocks in storm
Scot Gardner and Charles Hommey were struck by lightning while on outdoor assignments around Middletown and Woodsboro in two separate incidents over two days.

Hommey, on Glade Road near Woodsboro, was holding a gate during a storm and was checked at Frederick Memorial Hospital with no burns.
