Lightning describes the powerful electrical forces that build up in a thundercloud, how lightning forms, and what happens when it strikes. You'll see amazing close-up photographs of lightning, and you'll learn some handy safety tips for the next time a storm comes up. Remarkable facts, clear diagrams, and dramatic photographs by award-winning photographer Warren Faidley provide a fascinating look at the natural phenomenon of lightning.
