A man died and three others were hospitalized after being struck by lightning on Fort Myers Beach yesterday, marking the third lightning fatality in the area this year. Despite the somber news, downtown Fort Myers continues its celebrations, and today's weather should cooperate with a high near 90°F and only light drizzle expected. If you're looking for evening entertainment, catch the Bradenton Marauders at Hammond Stadium or Pedro Gonzalez performing at Off the Hook Comedy Club.
