Cloud To Ground Lightning Map – By looking at the flash rate maps, the researchers discovered a pattern: The above map can be zoomed into street level so that. The location as shown depicts roughly the starting point of the discharge from one cloud to the other. Lightning is a naturally occurring electrostatic discharge during which two electrically charged regions, both in the atmosphere or with one on the ground, temporarily neutralize themselves, causing the instantaneous release of an average of one gigajoule of energy.
