There are many natural phenomenon in this world that we live in, and many of them are beautiful. Many of those natural occurrences sometimes also have the potential to be extremely destructive. Lightning is the natural phenomenon that is simultaneously beautiful and has the potential to be massively destructive. The power that a single lightning strike generates in 30 microseconds is enough to power a 100 watt light bulb for almost 2 months. It is this explosive beauty that makes lighting so incredibly difficult to capture. This is a list of 5 unbelievable lighting shots that were luckily captured.
