Lightning City

Massive Lightning storm over the city lights. Long Layered Exposure. Scottsdale Arizona looking North to Carefree and Cave Creek.

 

Fact: The negatively charged bottom part of the storm can send out an invisible charge toward the ground. When the charge gets close to the ground, it is attracted by all the positively charged objects, and a channel develops. The subsequent electrical transfer in the channel is lightning.
