When Lightning Strikes the Ground
What does lightning leave behind after it strikes? We’ve all seen lightning in the sky, but it’s much more rare to see it strike the ground. Here you can observe the effects left behind at this golf course. We’ve got to admit, it almost looks Photoshopped.
It’s pretty amazing to see what nature can create. We wonder if any fulgurites like the one in the first photo of the article were formed underground when the lightning struck! Since they’re formed when lightning reacts with minerals in the soil, it would make sense to find a few here.
