FOUR people have been struck by lightning and thousands are without power as dangerous weather sweeps Perth and the outer metropolitan coast.

The State Emergency Service has warned people to stay safe as the storm sweeps through Perth and the coast from Lancelin to Mandurah.

A man was hit by lightning in Mandurah at 4am and St John Ambulance confirmed later today that a man was struck by lightning in Baldivis and was taken to Rockingham Hospital. Another person was struck by lightning in Welshpool.

None of the lightning victims have life-threatening injuries.

A St John Spokeswoman said that they had recieved a call for a fourth person struck by lightning in Myaree but that the ambulance was cancelled.

Homes have been damaged, floods are causing concern on the roads and domestic and international flights have been delayed.
