- Researchers try to recover scientific work after fire caused by lightning strike destroyed USF lab building
A lightning strike caused a fire that destroyed a marine science lab building at the University of South Florida (USF) in St. Petersburg, resulting in the loss of years of research, equipment, and data. Researchers, including USF College of Marine Science professor Steven Murawski, have relocated to alternative facilities while recovery efforts continue, with community support raising over $500,000.
