Four people were hit, including one who was hospitalized, after lightning struck on a Florida beach Monday.

Lightning struck a canopy that the four were standing under, according to the Holmes Beach Police Department.

The victim taken to the hospital is a man in his 30s. The fire department did not have an update on his condition.

A man who didn’t want to speak with Nexstar’s WFLA at the time said the victim was his brother. He showed his hands with blisters on them from moments after the lightning strike.
