nine years pass...

A new world record lightning has been recorded! A World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has established two new world records for the longest reported distance and the longest reported duration for a single lightning flash. The longest lightning flash duration is now set at more than 16 seconds in Argentina, while the longest distance is set at more than 700 km (nearly 450 miles) in Brasil!

just trying to imagine what a 450 mile lightening flash that isn't on one of the gas giants, but here on this rock, looks like. jeez!
