Five people hospitalized in the last two weeks are recovering from lightning strikes in Southwest Florida.
Wednesday, the detection system went off, warning people of lightning from a nearby storm. We were near Lowdermilk Beach in Naples when we heard the system working.
That’s the problem: Locals who go to the beach daily told us these lightning prediction horns are loud and impossible to miss.
But there are always people who ignore them. That’s frustrating for a man who is in the business of protecting people from dangerous lightning strikes.
