Venice Beach lightning strike kills one and injures eight in California
One man is dead and at least eight people have been injured in the US after a lightning strike during a rare thunderstorm at Venice Beach, officials say.
According to witnesses, the bolt of electricity made a loud crack that sounded like an explosion on the warm and overcast afternoon.
"I heard this crackle and there was this giant bolt of lightning shooting across the sky and the loudest thunder I've ever heard," witness Joe Doro told KCAL-TV.
Victims were apparently in the water or very close to it when the lightning struck, local officials said.
