SUMMARY: The British-flagged luxury superyacht Bayesian, which sank off Sicily in August 2024 killing U.K. tech magnate Mike Lynch and six others, was fully lifted out of the water on Saturday for investigation. Lynch, acquitted two months earlier of U.S. fraud charges, was celebrating with friends when the yacht capsized during a storm near Porticello. The vessel was raised from 50 meters deep using steel straps and a floating crane, with its 72-meter mast removed to enable lifting. The yacht will be transported to Termini Imerese for forensic tests as Italian authorities continue their criminal investigation into the tragedy.

SUMMARY: Central Florida experienced over 20,000 lightning strikes during recent storms, with meteorologists highlighting that lightning can strike miles ahead of a storm—a common occurrence, especially early in the rainy season. August is the peak month for lightning, while June ranks third. Experts debunked several myths: showering during a thunderstorm is unsafe because lightning can travel through pipes; lightning can strike the same place multiple times, as with iconic landmarks; and using a cell phone indoors is safe, unless it’s charging, since plugged-in devices are at risk from power surges. Staying indoors and avoiding plumbing and plugged-in electronics is recommended.

As summer storms roll through, myths and misconceptions about lightning persist. Here’s what experts — including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Weather Service (NWS) — say is fact or fiction when it comes to lightning safety.
