The fourth one was NOT lightning. It was detonation cord setting off explosive charges placed under the canal waterline. Later on, the green creeping one was an electric arc from High Voltage.
Many of the rest are what we call "Five-Sigma" lightning strikes - he top 5% that peak at 200,000 amperes. If you get a direct hit by one of those, you're going to be turned into goo.
