⛈️ When Thunder Roars: A Stormy Reminder for Lightning Safety

A terrifying lightning strike at New Smyrna Beach on June 20 served as a sobering reminder during National Lightning Safety Awareness Week. Three people were struck—one critically injured—as storms rolled in along the coast. While lightning is a natural spectacle, it’s also one of Florida’s deadliest weather hazards. Experts emphasize the mantra: “When thunder roars, go indoors.”

The National Weather Service warns that activities like fishing, beachgoing, camping, roofing, and even playing soccer are among the most common settings for lightning-related fatalities. Brevard County's Don Walker stresses the importance of planning ahead: know where you can take shelter and don’t wait for rain to react.

If someone is struck, remember—it’s safe to touch them, and providing first aid while waiting for emergency services can save their life.

🔫 Daytona Bar Shooting Leaves Three Wounded

In a disturbing turn of events Friday night, a shooting outside South Turn Sports Bar & Grill in Daytona Beach left three people injured. According to police, 28-year-old Anthony Kaznakoff had been drinking inside the bar and was escorted out after becoming disruptive. Moments later, he returned, allegedly retrieved a firearm from his waistband, and opened fire near the front entrance.

All three victims were hospitalized and are expected to recover. Thanks to swift witness cooperation, authorities quickly identified Kaznakoff, who surrendered without incident near his home. He now faces several charges, including attempted felony murder and using a firearm while under the influence.

The incident underscores the ongoing challenges facing local nightlife venues and law enforcement’s continued vigilance in protecting public safety.
