MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. — Officials confirmed that one person was hospitalized Monday afternoon following a lightning strike on Holmes Beach.
One adult individual was transported as a result of the lightning strike hitting a cabana that four people were under on the beach near 68th Street, according to Fire Marshal Rodney Kwiatkowski of West Manatee Fire Rescue District.
The other three people denied medical treatment, according to officials.
This is a developing story.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
