I'm gonna try to sleep but this storm is bad

Lighting hit the tower across the street with an earth shattering boom and spread out like a bomb

@KingofBones1 I never see it hit and spread out like that

@Lilnonames usually when lightning hits something like that it will spread out because when it hits is either grounded or it is not if it is grounded it will absorb the energy but if it is not grounded it will spread out because the electric current has to dissipate somewhere

@Lilnonames so therefore if it cannot flow solely into the target it will dissipate around it that is what provides the Big Flash

Bigger areas have better grounds. So the lightening splits up to the better ground.

Even soil has a certain amount of resistance. Why copper grounding rods can go down for six feet.

Think of it like a battery. Sometimes your negative terminal is not the best ground. And you might be better off to ground on the engine block, which has more metal as ground and less resistance.

I hope you were able to sleep, Twin. 🙏
