You’ve Been… THUNderSTRUCK!

Whoa. Somebody got ahold of an extremely high-speed camera and captured footage of a lightning bolt, from cloud-borne inception to final strike. Dig it:

I love how the initial bolts meander slowly until one of them makes contact with the ground, at which point the entire charge of the strike takes that path in a spectacular fashion.
Groovy.
