Lifeguard Struck by Lightning Saves Lives | Texas News

A lifeguard in Ormond Beach, Florida, was struck by lightning while leaning against his patrol truck on the Fourth of July — yet his first instinct wasn’t panic, it was warning beachgoers to flee. Despite only drizzling, he knew the danger was real and immediately activated the PA to evacuate everyone. Now recovering, he’s using his near-death experience to urge people to heed the simple rule: when you see dark clouds or hear thunder, get inside. Even fireworks and storms the next day triggered panic attacks. With his mayoral campaign underway, he’s stepping back from lifeguarding — his wife’s fridge note? “No more lifeguarding.” A powerful reminder: nature’s power isn’t something to test.
