In a shocking turn of events, a group of 20 beachgoers, including innocent children, were struck by lightning at a South Carolina beach park. The incident occurred on a sunny day, leaving everyone baffled and a little crispy.
Witnesses reported seeing a bright flash of light followed by a loud boom as the lightning bolt struck the unsuspecting group. One beachgoer, who wished to remain anonymous, said, “I was just minding my own business, enjoying a nice day at the beach, when all of a sudden, BAM! Lightning out of nowhere. It was like a scene out of a bad comedy movie.”
Among the victims was little Timmy Johnson, who was playing in the sand with his toy shovel and pail. Timmy’s mother, Karen Johnson, was beside herself with worry. She exclaimed, “I told Timmy to stay close to me, but he just had to build that sandcastle. Now look at him, all charred and smoldering. This is not how I imagined our family beach day.”
Local authorities were quick to respond to the incident, with Fire Chief Bob Smith stating, “This is a rare occurrence, but it just goes to show that even on a sunny day, lightning can strike when you least expect it. We urge beachgoers to take precautions and seek shelter when storms are in the forecast.”
In a bizarre twist, one of the victims, a man named Jerry Smith, claimed to have gained superhuman powers from the lightning strike. He was overheard telling bystanders, “I can feel the electricity coursing through my veins. I am now Lightning Man, protector of the beachgoers!”
Despite the unexpected turn of events, the group of 20 victims is expected to make a full recovery. As they nurse their sunburns and newfound superpowers, they can only laugh at the absurdity of their beach day gone wrong. Remember folks, when it comes to lightning strikes, always expect the unexpected, even at a sunny South Carolina beach park.
