I remember as a kid learning about how lightning makes your hair stand up, never thought in a million years I'd experience it. One lazy summer afternoon, I had found a lawn Jart, (those things you toss in the air and apparently try to land on or within a target) So, while tossing this thing about and learning how it works, my hair stood up. I remembered to hit the deck. Just across the lane, from the paddock where I was, same lane I live on now, it struck, sound was instant. There was a split second where I heard this ZZZZZZ....TTTTT, then the flash and noise. Still hard to believe, but for some reason throughout the years i have seen many very close strikes, some of which I cannot figure out did not cause a fire. One struck our huge old victorian house right smack in the middle, lit the place up, I saw it and you could not tell where it hit !! Even the well pump still worked that we were still using.
Just recently while coming home from work, one storm amongst many that we have had, it was striking frequently and literally both sides of the highway on both sides. The flash arc was unreal. We've had nothing but heat and high humidity followed by daily storms that do not relieve the humidity like they usually do. The humidity lately is just like the tropical rain forests, and places I have been close to the equator. I wonder if it is just this year or will be like that in the future, sure makes for lots of lightning when the storms roll in and those charges from the ground and sky meet.
