I mean that how lightning usually work

[@MineJaws763]

The invisible part comes from the sky and visible part come from the ground once it touch it just to fast so we see it a bit differently I don't why this lighting is like this though unless it is slowed down video

[@tylerreimer3013]

This is super rare. It's positive ground to cloud lightning. Generally positive charged lighting is cloud to ground, but it can be opposite as well. Or depending on the angle of the trajectory it may appear as though it's coming from the ground. However ene with that being said it is quite possible to have a positive charged G to C lightning. And when witnessed in real life and not on camera, it is indeed frightening. And incredibly LOUD and most lightning is cloud to ground and rarely actually hits the ground. So when it is a reverse strike, from ground up it is exponentially louder. Also, the difference between positive and negative charged lightning, is negative generally is like a static shock being released in little spurts. Positive charged, will tend to release all it's energy in one static shock. Making n awesomely wicked show. But it is incredibly dangerous and accounts for more deaths from lightning strikes around the world than it's counterpart.

Thank you. This was cool.

[@tommerphy1286]

@ Tylerreimer3013: electricity flows from neg to pos. Ie. Electro plating .

[@tylerreimer3013]

@@tommerphy1286 not always? It depends on the static charge thats built up and where it is built up etc. That's why we have different types of lightning. Ie Positive ground to cloud, or negative ground to charge. Yes, just because the negative charge is statically stronger, doesn't mean there isn't any positive charges, obviously...it's just the name the gave it, explaining the type of charge it released.
