I dunno if this is true, or even something I should post here. But there was
alightning expert on one of the news channels the other day and he
saidsomething that I just could not believe. He talked about the temperature
oflightning, which I don't remember, but it was amazing. Also he said we see
longstreaks when we see lightning, but in all actuality, it is only about the
sizeof a pencil. Is that true?!? I just can't imagine that.

Have a good One!
