Three people were injured after being struck by lightning in a popular summer beach getaway town on Saturday night.

Two of the victims of the strike in St. Augustine Pier in Florida were transported to the hospital, one in critical condition and one with minor injuries, according to WJXT. A third person refused to be taken to the hospital.

The pier was closed down while fire crews attended to the injured, and it was inspected for damage. It is expected to reopen on Monday.

Watched a water spout from the beach one time. It was magical. (Ancestors founded the town).
