This lightning storm was captured during the summer in Mesa County, Colorado near the town of Fruita. The lightning bolts were exploding to the west of town toward the Utah border.
Lightning is a massive electrostatic discharge caused by unbalanced electric charges in the atmosphere, and resulting in a strike, from a cloud to itself, a cloud to a cloud or a cloud to ground, and accompanied by the loud sound of thunder. A typical cloud to ground lightning strike jumps a 5 km (3 mi) gap through the air. A typical thunderstorm has three or more strikes per minute at its peak.
Lightning is usually produced by cumulonimbus clouds based 5�6 km (3-4 mi) above the ground and that are themselves up to 15 km (9 mi) in height. Lightning also occurs during snow storms (thundersnow), volcanic eruptions, dust storms, forest fires or tornadoes. Hurricanes typically generate some lightning, mainly in the rainbands as much as 160 km (100 mi) from the center
