The mystery of lightning: super slow mo shows all
When you work in construction, lighting becomes more reality and less something that happens outside your windows. I’ve always loved to watch lighting, though respect it’s awesome power.
My Dad was an electrical contractor and often got called out in the middle of the night to repair lightning damage…perhaps a well pump that got fried or and industrial motor that was no longer running a production line. He once saw lightning roll along the ground like a ball of fire.
So watch the video below if you like lightning and want to understand it better.
