Subject: Florida Ground To Ground Lightning Strike
Florida is the lightning capital of the U.S. with the highest annual number
of lightning related injuries and deaths. There are many types of lightning
discharges but cloud to ground (positive) and ground to cloud (negative)
discharges do the most damage.
In June 2006 a Skywarn observer took a photograph of a lightning discharge
on Sugarloaf Mountain (elevation 312 feet) in Lake County Florida. The
photograph reveals the first "documented" ground to ground lightning strike.
I have heard of lightning striking the sides of buildings rather then the
roof, chimney or attached TV antenna and now I know how that has happened.

The unusual lightning bolt is probably related to global warming.
