thekidshouldseethis:

A downward lightning negative ground flash captured at 7,207 images per second. A negative stepped leader emerges from the cloud and connects with the ground forming a return stroke.

From ZT Research, who is “trying to figure out how lightning works.”

ZAP.

Visit the ZT Research video page to see even more lightning captures, including some crazy upward stuff. Until you watch it at this slow speed, you don’t appreciate the random, yet stable path that the ionized gas takes from cloud to ground. Amazing.
