Three Individuals Injured by Lightning in Unusual Thunderstorm Under Clear Skies
During a rare blue-sky storm in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, three individuals were struck by lightning over the weekend, with one man in critical condition. The incident unfolded just before 12:30 p.m., catching beachgoers off guard as they enjoyed the sunny weather. A 29-year-old from Colorado was hit while standing in ankle-deep water; bystanders and a nearby nurse provided CPR until paramedics arrived, successfully reviving his pulse at the hospital. Meanwhile, two golfers at a nearby course were indirectly struck but did not require hospitalization. This event highlights the unpredictability of lightning, which can strike even in clear skies, prompting officials to advise vigilance during storms.
