The strike occurred at about 2:50 p.m. in the 3500 block of South Ocean Front Walk (map), LAFD spokeswoman Katherine Main said.
A powerful bolt of lightning apparently hit the water near the pier, electrifying it and zapping swimmers and surfers who were in the area at the time.
“We were next to our carbon fibers board, so we got zapped pretty good, said Mace Camhe, who was in the water when the lightning hit.
Some also said they even felt the strike in the sand.
Witnesses told KTLA the lightning appeared very suddenly.
“Just out of nowhere, we heard all this lightning slap across the sky,” Jermaine Roquemore said. “And it slammed down, just this big old strike…electrical current just hit the water.”
Another witness, who would only identify herself as Jackie, said the lightning strike was followed by thunder that sounded like a “bomb.” 原文
