There were several nasty storms over the weekend in Tampa Bay.
One person was struck by lightning and seven others were injured Sunday afternoon at Clearwater Beach; lightning struck a boat and set it on fire Saturday in Gulfport; and McLane Middle School caught fire on Friday night.
Investigators believe the fire at McLane Middle School was likely caused by lightning.
