If you haven’t already seen this, be sure to watch the the first few seconds. It’s beautiful.

Wow, absolutely incredible. I love watching lightning.
If you watch closely, you can see that the path for the only tendril to actually make it to the ground causes the huge strike to follow that exact path.
For people that have been struck by lightning, that first tendril must be the ‘hair raising’ part they felt just before the strike hit them.
Very cool vid.
wow.. amazing.. love it…
Thanks it very vividly explaining the discharge pattern of the charged clouds.
Thank you Daniel Florien
It looks like the big strike goes up from the ground after the tendril gets there from above. Cool stuff
Amazing!
Zeus really knows his stuff.
Me thinks that this video has been…artistically enhanced? I may be wrong but I don’t think we currently have the technology to film lightning in slow motion. (Must go and do some research.)
nah, it’s easy… ever seen those films of bullets where they’re travelling about two inches a second?
what you do is, you get some really sensitive film, and then you film at 6000 frames a second, enough to get just about every detail. Run it at 25 frames per second and you can see it all happening at a speed the human mind can understand.
