Lightning Strikes Two on Wrightsville Beach | Wilmington News
Description
Lightning struck twice at Wrightsville Beach’s Shell Island last Saturday, hitting two people near noon—no fatalities yet, but their condition remains unknown. Officials warn: when you hear thunder, lightning’s already dangerously close. Seek shelter in a sturdy building or hard-top vehicle, and avoid open spaces, water, and trees. In North Carolina, one lightning death occurs annually, though 90% of victims survive. The town initially withheld updates, but later confirmed no deaths—though the situation is still unfolding. Stay safe: always have a storm plan.
