Description: Animations, pictures and discussion of strange atmospheric or lightning phenomena.
Nashville Flash (wait for animation) The purpose of this site is to stimulate a discussion of the phenomena being illustrated here. For now I will call it "Flash Lightning. In order to understand the central theme of these pictures, visualize the state of the surrounding atmosphere just prior to a lightning strike. There is a large electrical potential that is building up in an air mass. When that charge gets strong enough it discharges to a place of different potential. If the two places are far removed, and the voltage and charge are large enough, then a visible stroke is created followed by thunder. This is the standard lightning phenomenon.
