In this rather graphic video, you can observe someone folding up an umbrella just moments before lightning fatally struck these two individuals.
From Marca:
Rushing to gather their belongings to leave the beach, two people were caught out by lightning, which electrocuted them.
Municipal authorities said that the people struck were identified as a tourist and a hammock seller from Colima.
One was a woman, who was killed instantly, while the other was a male who was taken to a hospital but died while receiving medical attention.
It's incredibly rare to be struck by lightning, to be precise, it happens at a rate of 1 in 15,300.
Furthermore, it's even more uncommon to die from such a strike, as typically 90% of people survive.
