Security camera catches lightning strike on sailboat

May 11 (UPI) -- A boat parked at a Colorado marina sustained $10,000 worth of damage in a caught-on-camera lightning strike.

Sheldon Reese, manager of the North Shore Marina in Pueblo, said he was inside his home during a Monday evening storm when he heard a noise just outside.

"I heard a big boom -- and came out here and see what it was and, by golly, the sailboat got hit by lightning," Reese told KRDO-TV.

Security camera footage shows the lighting strike hit the boat's mast, sparking a fire.

"The first thing I'm looking at is there's gas right next to it, and I was like, 'We can't have this,'" Reese said.

The fire was extinguished and no one was injured. Reese said the damage to the boat was estimated at about $10,000.

Lake Pueblo State Park said in a Facebook post the video should serve as a "great reminder to always be weather aware."
