Lightning struck two men in Flushing Meadows Park in Queens on Tuesday — leaving one in critical condition — as a brief but powerful storm pounded the area, law enforcement sources said.

The two victims, 30 and 42, were playing soccer at the sprawling park at 7:30 p.m. when the wild weather struck.

Both men were rushed to Elmhurst Hospital with the 30-year-old in critical condition, police said.

Another man was hit by lightning in Queens a short time later, at 7:55 p.m. near Baisley Boulevard and 155th Street before he was taken to Jamaica Hospital, officials said. The 31-year-old was expected to survive his injuries.
