Last Sunday, a storm was brewing over Clearwater Beach which caused the lifeguards to raise a warning for people to leave the water and head to safety. However, several minutes after the signal was issued, lightning struck and it hit a 40-year-old man who is still in critical condition. Four others also sustained injuries.
