- Share via
MORRISON, Colo. — A storm during a packed prayer service at a 10,000-seat amphitheater pelted participants with hail and cold rain and sent people scrambling for cover. At least 130 people were taken to hospitals.
Two of the injured were taken to a coronary intensive care unit, while the rest were treated and released Monday night, said Pat Conroy, medical coordinator for the five-day Lutheran national youth conference.
Most were treated for dizziness and hypothermia, or low body temperature, from getting soaked by the rain, which dropped the temperature 20 degrees to about 45.
