Predicting exactly where a bolt will ultimately strike is still nearly impossible to do. There is still a lot that scientists don’t know about the nature of their strong strikes. Lightning is still a very random and widely difficult phenomenon to predict. Want to know more about lightning formation and safety? Click HERE for more!
