Great article, again! Wow, I have always been in awe of lightning and thunder since I was a little kid and keep on being amazed by their powers.

"During the discharge the air gets heat up to 30 000 degree Celsius and creates a plasma." Now, I guess, the question would be What is plasma? Knowing that the resulting effect of lightning heats up the ambient air hotter than the surface of the sun was also pretty darn cool a fact! ;)

Thanks again for the education, great clear schematics and videos. Namaste :)
