Two separate shark attacks injured beachgoers on Florida's eastern shore just an hour apart from each other on Saturday.Frank O'Rourke, 23, said he was surfing at Jacksonville Beach Saturday when a shark jumped out of the water and bit him.
O'Rourke, who has been surfing at the location since he was a child, said he sees sharks at Jacksonville Beach regularly, but had never been bitten by one. "If it's your time, it's your time," he told WJXX."If the [sharks] want you, they want you. You're more likely to get struck by lightning than killed by a shark. I'm going to buy a lottery ticket."But O'Rourke was not the only one attacked on Saturday.
The shark bit Angell, who was visiting from Arizona, on his right thigh at about 4:30 p.m. The injury was not considered serious.
