A lightning bolt in Argentina has killed at least three people and injured 22 in a coastal community.
The Telam state news agency says the lightning bolt struck Villa Gesell, a town 320 kilometres (200 miles) east of the capital of Buenos Aires.
The 16 adults and six children injured were taken to a local hospital. Officials say two women suffered serious injuries.
A lifeguard, who witnessed the strike, described the scene: "some people had pain in their feet, some people were in convulsions and some were under cardiac arrest".
Argentina's National Weather Service says the lightning was caused by a sudden storm with "a great movement of ascending air and water and lots of electrical activity."

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
