A frightening scene is unfolding outside Raymond James Stadium as there are reports of fans being hit by lightning.

According to Bay News 9, Tampa Fire Rescue has responded to the stadium. Officials said from five to seven people were being transported to a local hospital for treatment.

The stadium cleared out early as the Bucs lost 20-3 to the Packers. While there’s no word about the identity of those hit, the fact they were outside the controlled environment of the stadium as storms approached would have made it less likely to hear warnings to seek cover.
