DYK A lot of energy is discharged during an electrical #storm - a single lightning bolt can produce up to 1.21 gigawatts of power and heat the air to 30,000°C (54,000°F).
What can it look like during a night #storm ? See the next spout in thread!

DPT 27 Apr #storm (continued)
During the electrical discharge, the air expands rapidly, creating a shock wave (thunder). Visible light is emitted during the heating and ionisation of air along the discharge path (lightning bolt) - enough energy to light a paddock and distant hill like it’s daytime!

In response to Su. Ho..
The fact that the trees and hillside are actually visible in both photos is remarkable.
