This is a video of electrical engineer Greg Leyh of Lightning On Demand (same here but mine requires black magic and a ton of mana) blasting watermelons to pieces with currents equivalent to those found in lightning (25,000 – 100,000 amps). Allegedly Greg performed these experiments to test a new

This is a timelapse video of a powerful supercell thunderstorm in Oklahoma captured by storm chaser Chad Casey earlier this week. With the storm above and all those blinking red lights below it looks like a modern day Mordor. And maybe it is, I’ve never been to Oklahoma. It definitely

This is a very brief video of Zeus adding his own bit of flair to a 4th of July fireworks show in Mustang, Oklahoma (never been, but I can imagine what it’s like). That’s cool, I love fireworks AND lightning. Is anybody working on a way to harvest lightning energy?

Presumably as a high-five to the nation’s first president, Thor struck the Washington Monument with a lightning bolt Sunday night, taking out the structure’s elevator and forcing its closure for a day. And this person captured the electrifying moment on their camera. Per someone else there: “Ooooh I missed it!”
