CBS News journalist Nancy Cordes tweeted out a video from on the ground near the White House that showed the surrounding area as the lightning hit.

“Our camera was rolling on the White House North Lawn tonight when lightning struck Lafayette Park nearby, injuring four,” she tweeted. “The thunder was so loud, @gabrielle_ake and I jumped up in fright. ‘That’s too close — we’re shutting down’ advised photographer Ron Windham.”
