A lightning strike on Fort Myers Beach yesterday killed one person and hospitalized three others, with witnesses describing a sudden and dangerous storm that swept across the area. Today's forecast calls for a high near 90 degrees with scattered showers and thunderstorms expected, so beachgoers and outdoor enthusiasts should stay weather-aware throughout the day. If you're looking for indoor entertainment, catch Pedro Gonzalez at Off the Hook Comedy Club or head to Hammond Stadium for the Marauders-Mussels game.
