What is 'bolt from the blue'? How many people are killed by lightning? What is petrified lightning? And much more!

Interesting collection, but for goodness' sake, please just narrate the thing rather than simulate a NWS automated weather report with the synthetic voice.

I literally stopped watching due to how difficult it was to try to listen to that accompanying sound track.

Nice photos of cloud to ground lightning.  Your collection of tree damage was also very nice.
