Story on this subject as I have a goodie, When I was working in Zanzibar years ago we were having breakfast on the beach in our resort and just gas bagging and drinking coffee, and ther's this thunder storm lightening etc and raining like a mother.
Anyway next thing this lighening bolt hits the UHF repeater tower and arcs right through it , then next thing this almighty bang and lightening comes out of a power socket!!! Hits this random guy sitting down having breakie with his mrs, and boots him off his seat right across the room in front of us!!!!
I'm like holy F..... pretty much the same time this African local goes to touch the urn for a cuppa and boot he yells insanely drops his cuppa and legs it off screaming into the jungle.
We all jump up go to the guy like expecting him to be dead!!
And he just looks up and says to everyone " wow now I'm awake I don't need a coffee after all"
We are like "no way!!!"
But yes way he got up to tell the story and carry on like nothing happened.
Also apparently the lads in the dive office where the uhf tower is on had to jump up on the bench as there was lightening skitzing all over the floor in the office like in the movies or something for a time afterwards!!
So yea I managed to watch a dude struck by lighening and survive a highlight of my OE actually.
) that cloud turned into a water spout on the other side of the sand dunes. 
... I think the chdk forum members are trying to get it to work on dslrs
