It can hit boats that are nearby, and electrocute fish that are near the surface.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re at the beach and hear thunder or see lightning, get out of the water. Get off the beach and take shelter in a building or in your car. If you&#8217;re at sea, head back to a shelter on land. If you can&#8217;t, either stay low in the boat or retreat to a cabin. Do not use electronic equipment during the storm.<\/p>\n<p>Every year, millions of lightning flashes fill our skies. Each one has the potential to cause a devastating and shocking impact.<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iJ88efj8Jno\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not only can lightning strike twice, but it can also strike the ocean.
