Ahh, the beauty after a mid-summer storm is something to marvel at... unless the storm isn’t quite over.
Swede Ingela Tanneskog was recording a rainbow that formed over some trees by a lake when suddenly Mother Nature decided she wanted an encore. At the 10-second mark of the video posted to YouTube Aug. 21, a lightning bolt strikes just metres away from where she’s filming.
You might want to turn your volume down for this short video. (You’ve been warned so you won’t jump as much as we did when it hits.)
Luckily, she was unharmed as it looks like she was filming inside.
Good thing the same thing didn't happen to the double-rainbow guy because the emotions may have have been too much for him. That video (posted below) went viral in 2010 and now has more than 40 million views.

So if I rent my kite to a terminally ill person in a park for, say 10 large, until the kite gets hit by lightening nobody will go to jail and the 'customer' doesn't have to worry about any take 2's, that about cover it? Miami is lightening capital of the world. (as well as rocky mountain tops)

Could I open an ATV park for the terminally ill (5 years or less) where the waiver they signs mean medical help will not be called but somebody will be around to hold your hand during the last few moments?
Traditional treatment for the band of pain that comes with a HA is to pick up 2 pails of water and run up the nearest incline. (compared to the hospital bed in tubeland) If it makes you feel better you can be charged the same price rather than the 1/50 that is the actual difference. (You definitely get the last word in) Keepers Weepers Reapers, Your Call Same as the wheelchair path through a trail where bears are known to be. 5kph chair vs 55kph bear, The bear wins but the chair was being 'peddled by a 35 year old for the last few feet and that always brings a smile after the event in life so . . . . extended version.

Royalty free text to go along with the telephoto chair and (old guy with subliminal overlay of him at a younger age of 35 )rider at full speed (race mode) and looking for more and large hungry mad bear coming hard from behind and have the person smiling but not an insane laughter

Ec:9:10:
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do,
do it with thy might;
for there is no work,
nor device,
nor knowledge,
nor wisdom,
in the grave,
whither thou goest.

Locals in Venezuela may think of the Catatumbo lightning as a regular light show, but the folks at Guinness think it's a little more noteworthy.

According to the Agence France-Presse, the region, located in the western state of Zulia, was awarded the Guinness World Record for the area with the most lightning. It reportedly receives up to 3,600 flashes per hour.

The Catatumbo lightning

Vice President Jorge Arreaza and Zulia Gov. Francisco Arias Cardenas accepted the certificate on behalf of Venezuela Tuesday, Spanish news agency EFE reports. The South American country received the honor after Venezuelan environmentalist Erick Quiroga proposed the record last year.

In an email to The Huffington Post, Guinness explained:

The Catatumbo Lightning occurs in Venezuela over the mouth of the Catatumbo River as it enters Lake Maracaibo. This area receives almost 250 lightning flashes per square kilometer each year. Lightning happens up to 300 nights per year in displays that can last nine hours. In 2010 the lightning ceased from January to April, possibly due to effects from the El Niño/La Niña–Southern Oscillation.
​

Before the region won the title, the town of Kikuka in the Democratic Republic of the Congo held the Guinness World Record for the highest concentration of lightning, with 158 lightning bolts per square kilometer every year.

An old estimate of the frequency of lightning on Earth was 100 times a second.

Lightning is now known to occur on average 44 (± 5) times a second averaged over the entire earth, for a total of nearly 1.4 billion flashes per year.

That is insane, in the old days a time exposure would work but the timing would take years. For all the talk about Tesla wireless power that would still result in a spark of some sort and where you have a spark you have ozone being created. If a little too little is bad a little too much is just as bad, if not worse.. A sterile planet that smells like it just rained, lovely. That being said the 110V design sterilizes you home while you are ar work and the 2.3% increase during 'nappy time' means a dreamless and tossless sleep for a minimum of 6 hours.
