This May Be The Coolest Lightning Image I’ve Seen

There have been plenty of cool images of tornadoes, hail and other weather phenomena that I have seen in my life, but this may be the most unique and awesome. Earlier this week, lightning struck a golf course in Texas, and this happened:

What happens is as the lightning strikes, it leaves a current in the ground due to the different charges that actually create it.

This is fully apparent in that image, and is fully awesome. If you would like more information on lightning, check out the NWS Safety page on it.
