Note the orange smoke. That’s likely NOx from a nitrogen-based explosive. Lightning does not make orange smoke. Note also the timing of the up-welling of the water. That’s from timed charges. Lightning would be near instantaneous.

I’ve been on the water sailing when lightning struck nearby.

No steam, no splash, but a helluva bang.
