]]> New York City’s only fatality in last evening’s powerful storm occurred in Cobble Hill when scaffolding surrounding a Christ Church on Clinton Street collapsed as a 61 year old man was walking under it, according to NY1.

Update: The victim has been identified as Richard Schwartz, a prosecutor in the State Attorney General’s office. He is survived by a wife and daughter. The scaffolding was at Christ Church on Clinton Street; it appears to have collapsed when lightning struck the church’s steeple and dislodged some stones which fell onto the scaffolding.
