DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Dozens of beachgoers have been stung by jellyfish along a central Florida beach.

Volusia County beach safety officers said they treated around 60 people with a vinegar mixture on Saturday.

Hazardous rip current and lightning storms have made for dangerous beach conditions in the area.  Officials told the Orlando Sentinel (https://tinyurl.com/ycuf6k57 ) they also rescued 27 people out of the water.
