Nice detail in this high-speed photo. Here is what you are seeing. First you see several leaders reaching for the ground: these are connected to the cloud via a plasma channel and are at a high voltage -- since they are sharply tipped, there is a strong electric field which causes the air to break down, so the plasma channels can lengthen. Once one plasma channel hits the ground, a lot of current comes through and you see a big flash. The voltage drops rapidly in the area of the cloud where the plasma channel came from -- that attracts new plasma channels up in the cloud that recharge the main channel, causing the secondary flashes.

You should consider your audience before placing pornographic ads on your site. Thumbs down for me and my huge network of friends and families.
