Lightning Strike at Ohio Prison | Cleveland News

A lightning strike at Ohio’s Grafton Correctional Institution sent 19 inmates flying—two lost pulses. Despite a flood watch, storm warnings, and the governor calling in the National Guard, the prison reopened its yard just 20 minutes after closing it due to rain—and then got hit by lightning mere minutes later. Survivors face long-term damage, three remain hospitalized, and lawsuits are looming. This isn’t just bad luck—it’s a glaring failure of safety protocol and duty of care for those who can’t protect themselves.
