Bahamas lightning almost hits jetski

Interesting lighting footage taken over a beach while party goes on below. Lightning strikes are slowed down to 5% while in between strikes action is sped up 2000%. At the end a thin bolt of lightning dances around a jet ski near shore just before the main bolt flashes at a distance in the background. Somehow the jetski attracts this little bolt at a great distance from the main bolt over the ocean. This footage was taken in high def and then compressed with Quicktime H.263 with a frame size of 427x240. For those who are interested I have slowed down the section where the jet ski almost gets hit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqIv7rpKrNg

@skArpPT just fyi, lightning takes the fastest path to the ground, and the electronics on jetskis is surrounded by rubber anyways to resist water.

Fake the jet ski didn't even stop a small bolt would have shut that thing down frying the electronics.

"When you roll it, I cant control it, And when you throw it, Its hard to catch it,

And when you shake it

I pray you dont break it

And when you drop it

Girl I cannot take it"

Some people will say anything for views. The closest strike was 2 + miles away and you wouldn't be able to see a jet ski that far away let alone see how close lightning was to it.... Bad title, very poor form.
