DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — A lightning strike on a Lake Superior beach injured eight people, including a 9-year-old Wisconsin boy who later died, Minnesota authorities said Sunday.
All eight were on a sailboat that took refuge from a rapidly approaching thunderstorm on the end of Minnesota Point, near the Superior Entry to the Duluth-Superior harbor, about 5:30 p.m. Saturday, the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. Lighting struck before they could get off the boat, but one person was able to call 911.
