The horizontal branch, in particular, intrigues me:
it’s thinnest right in the middle!

Lightning that extends horizontally is, supposedly,
of the “positive” variety (electrons go from ground to cloud),
and is said to be a lot more energetic than the usual
(electrons from low cloud to ground).

How much time, roughly,
between the vertical and the horizontal?
Which struck first? :bucktooth:
