Farley, Missouri
Photographer states :: Farley Lightning. What a fun night!It has been awhile since we had a light show.
Severe storms are not a surprise on a drought ridden planet. The troposphere becomes heavily ionic and when enough humidity gathers and the ions can travel between clouds and between the clouds and ground the neutral state is perferred. Therefore, continuous lightning will occur at 'the opportunity' of enough water vapor to facilitate the event.
