Lightning

A lightning bolt that traveled from Texas to Missouri has finally been confirmed as a new world record.

20 people in South Carolina were caught completely off guard when lightning struck them on a sunny day.

A recent thunderstorm over Illinois was captured on slow-motion video as lightning lit up the sky over a cornfield.

A new video that shows the moment a lightning bolt from recent storms send 300 million volts of power into a helpless Missouri tree.

As a winter storm system began moving across Missouri early Wednesday morning, one traffic cam captured a rather shocking moment when thunder snow happened in Joplin.

I've heard it said that if you fail to learn history, you are doomed to repeat it. That's why it's important that we all know that the Missouri capital building has burned to the ground twice and for strange reasons.

If you've ever tried to take a picture of lightning, you know it's difficult and potentially dangerous. One Wisconsin guy did it the safe and successful way and captured an incredible lighting display as it happened over southern Wisconsin just a few days ago.

Since it's summer, thunderstorms rolling through the St. Louis, Missouri area is not an unusual thing. What is not common though is lightning from a recent storm struck the Gateway Arch again.

I will admit that I don't know much about lightning other than I'd prefer to not get struck by any. But, even I know when a video about lightning is captivating and that's definitely the case for upward lightning that was recently captured as it climbed into the sky over St. Louis, Missouri.

Many believe that lightning always strikes the tallest conductive objects. There's proof that isn't always the case as new video shows a huge bolt of lightning barely missing the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.
