Lightning bolts travel at speeds of up to 60,000 miles per second.
The average length of a single lightning bolt is 2-3 miles.
A single lightning bolt travels through twisted paths in the air that can be as wide as one of your fingers or between six and ten miles.
The temperature of a typical lightning bolt can reach 50,000 F degrees – that is 5 times greater than the temperature of the surface of the Sun
The odds of becoming a lightning victim in the U.S. in any one year is 1 in 700,000. The odds of being struck in your lifetime is 1 in 3,000
Holy crap, i wonder how people can survive being struck by lightning
