                That can't be real. That camera is practically shooting at the speed of light, not to mention how did they know the lightning was going to strike there? Could be real and lucky, but seems a bit fishy to me.

                  Electrical current travels just under the speed of light, so the current is discharged almost instantly. But the molecules in the air take time to excite to produce something in the visible spectrum. (My 'fuzzy' explanation anyway, not sure if its true or not)

                  Also the downward smaller strikes is a different current flow then the big, upward single strike.

                  Heres a video I found that helped explain some of the science. YouTube - Lightning Strikes!

                    Now we have had a lot of flooding in this area and there are still a lot of houses that have not been repaired. Must be the apocalypse.
