In a single day, we turned the corner into spring. Ice went off the lake (Caribou), the loons returned, the frogs started croaking, and the first thunderstorm of the season rolled through the area.The lightning photographed here was the leading edge of a small cell that veered north as soon as it hit the cool air of Lake Superior which was 10 miles further away.
Most lightning strikes average 2 to 3 miles long and carry a current of 10000 Amps at 100 million Volts. Meteorologists know the cloud conditions necessary to produce lightning, but cannot forecast the location or time of the next stroke of lightning from a storm.
The rain pours down from the clouds, and everyone benefits.
Who can understand the spreading of the clouds and the thunder that rolls forth from heaven?
See how He spreads the lightning around Him and how it lights up the depths of the sea.Job 36:30
