The only thing I can add to this is the same thing I added to the last one. That smoke is absolutely from dynamite. I blasted rock for a living 40 years ago, I've seen it 1000 times, there's no doubt.

Another reason to stay away from the water during a storm:
Lightning strikes river

The lightning stayed grounded to earth under the water. It then took a moment for all that mass of water to vaporize.
Anything in that water is dead.

WhiteWolf posted a link to this same video on Facebook late last week. Seemed like reactions were a mixed bag of wow & disbelief to others offering opinions it was det cord or submerged dynamite.
Not sure if the earlier link required a Facebook account to view or not, so thanks for posting this version too. :)

This is a video of someone blowing up a log jam or a beaver dam with det cord. Notice the logs in the river that move as the explosion.

I could think of about a 100 different channels in the bw/q that could use that!

This video was featured on the news tonight. It is not from a lightning strike as claimed.
They were blasting out a channel to clear debris and deepen it.
They also noted that when lightning strikes water it spreads out over the surface, and does not penetrate very deep. That's why fish are not killed or affected.
