In a shocking turn of events, a group of golfers and beachgoers were struck by lightning as thunderstorms wreaked havoc on a popular Florida vacation spot. The incident left residents and tourists alike stunned, wondering if they should start carrying around lightning rods as part of their beach accessories.
One golfer, who wished to remain anonymous, recounted the terrifying moment when the lightning struck. “I was just about to sink a hole-in-one when all of a sudden, BAM! I felt like I was being electrocuted. I guess you could say my golf game was really shocking that day.”
Another witness, who goes by the name of Sandy Beachbum, described the chaos on the beach when the storm hit. “I was just minding my own business, working on my tan, when out of nowhere, lightning struck right next to me. I thought I had finally found the perfect spot for my beach umbrella, turns out it was just a lightning magnet.”
Local authorities are urging residents and tourists to take caution when venturing outdoors during stormy weather. “It’s important to remember that lightning doesn’t discriminate,” said Sheriff Thunderbolt. “Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or a laid-back beachgoer, you should always be aware of your surroundings and seek shelter when lightning is in the area.”
Despite the shocking incident, some residents are finding humor in the situation. “I guess you could say those golfers really got a ‘shocking’ experience,” joked resident Sunny McSunshine. “Maybe they should consider taking up a less electrifying hobby, like knitting or bird watching.”
As the cleanup efforts continue and the injured recover from their electrifying ordeal, one thing is for certain – Florida’s reputation as the sunshine state has taken a bit of a hit. But hey, at least now they can add “lightning magnet” to their list of tourist attractions.
