A quick google search says that was July 27 2014.

Six to Seven people struck by lightning on Venice Beach -- that's insane! Sometimes when I launch in the dark, I can see lightning hitting the water 15-25miles away. When the static gets thick in the air, any vertical fishing rods will buzz. When the rods buzz, it's time to secure them horizontally and peddle back to shore.
