Multiple units from the fire rescue team and Pinellas County Sheriff&#8217;s Office responded and rendered emergency aid, Porrier said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Two adult victims were treated on-scene and refused further treatment. A 17-year-old girl was taken to Tampa General Hospital. There was no immediate update available on her condition.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wtsp.com\/article\/news\/local\/pinellascounty\/3-people-struck-lightning-st-pete-beach-florida\/67-eb077cc1-a112-4ad4-9d90-9fb8ce9c8616\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CBS affiliate WTSP reported<\/a> that the family had been standing under their umbrella during a thunderstorm. Jennifer Tillman said she saw the whole thing from her apartment overlooking the beach.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You could hear it, it was coming closer and closer and closer, and then it happened,&#8221; Tillman told WTSP. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know, I don&#8217;t know.

She said the other two people appeared to be in shock after the strike.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Images from the scene showed the family&#8217;s umbrella singed and snapped in half, with other belongings damaged by the lightning strike. Dead gulls were also visible in the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The safest place to be during a lightning storm is inside, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/lightning\/safety\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>. The agency recommends against carrying any metal objects, including umbrellas. Metal can conduct electricity, and a person is more likely to be struck by lightning if carrying a conductor above shoulder height.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you are out on the beach or anywhere with an umbrella that is taller than you, you are literally creating a lightning rod,&#8221; WTSP meteorologist Bobby Deskins said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tillman said that just hours after the incident, the storm had cleared out and new beachgoers had come to celebrate the 4th of July with fireworks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A whole new wave of people came,&#8221; Tillman said. &#8220;Like nothing had ever happened.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>St. Pete Beach is a small city on a barrier island in Pinellas County, about 20 miles southwest of Tampa.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/kerry-breen\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Kerry  Breen<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Kerry Breen is a news editor at CBSNews.com.
