Lightning is one of the oldest observed natural phenomena on earth. Besides thunderstorms, lightning has been seen in extremely intense forest fires, volcanic eruptions, surface nuclear detonations, heavy snowstorms, and in large hurricanes. At any given moment, there are about 1,800 thunderstorms happening over the Earth. It’s estimated that 100 lightning flashes occur each second somewhere around the globe, totaling to about 8 million lightning flashes per day.
