What happened in Murray lake?

Suddenly the storm rolled into the area, and an electric bolt hit the water, where a group of 20 people, eight adults and 12 children were floating.

A spokesman for the IRMO Fire Department stated that electricity activated a metal cable with buoys that mark the circumference of the swimming area.

Ermo’s firefighters said, “Many people floated for the aunt and were being caught on the cable while it was hit, and others were swimming,” Ermo Fire officials said, according to the Fox season. “Everyone got a lot of shock, we are so lucky that she was not worse than hurts.”

While the original reports admitted 18 persons to the hospital, all 12 children were included, Lexington County later stated that 12 people were taken to three hospitals to get better treatment. The authorities did not provide updated details at the age of the injured, but they confirmed that everyone was expected to survive.

In particular, the National Weather Service issued a special weather statement, stating that there is a storm towards Western Lexington County, with electricity and air speeds up to 50 mph.

Officials of Ermo Fire said, “Electricity can reach far away from a cloud. It is not logical, but a few of us have a hundred believers.” “It was bright and sunny on the lake, with the clouds nearby but not overhead … the thunderstorm is not a joke! Stay safe there.”

Dominion Beach Park is expected to open again on Wednesday.
