Cloud-to-Ground Lightning

Lightning occurs when there is an electrical discharge within, or around, a thunderstorm. Cloud-to-ground lightning occurs when the electrical charge travels between a negatively charged cloud base and the positively charged ground. This is the most spectacular variation of lightning, forming brilliant, jagged bolts between the sky and the ground. A cloud-to-ground lightning stroke originating from higher based cloud structure. Lightning stroke penetrates a low level cloud before reaching earth.
