   I dunno if this is true, or even something I should post here. But there was   
   alightning expert on one of the news channels the other day and he   
   saidsomething that I just could not believe. He talked about the temperature   
   oflightning, which I don't remember, but it was amazing. Also he said we see   
   longstreaks when we see lightning, but in all actuality, it is only about the   
   sizeof a pencil. Is that true?!? I just can't imagine that.   
      
   Have a good One!
