Dry thunderstorm lightning causes the majority of forest fires.
It seems this video was from a fixed camera, as a human operator may not have survived this strike. Watch (at 7 seconds, of 56) how the lightning first strikes the river bank, then into the river and downstream with much turbulence.
Glad I wasn't swimming or fishing or boating there!
(Sorry, I’m not clear about the attribution of this video.)
afraid it wasnt. was underwater explosives if I recall. Did the rounds a while ago.
