The whole sky lit up like the Fourth of July, lightning exploding in every direction. It wasn’t just a few flashes. It was an all-out electric frenzy, with bright streaks of light crawling across the clouds like spiderwebs.

Lightning Fun Fact:

Did you know that a single bolt of lightning is five times hotter than the surface of the sun? While the sun’s surface burns at about 10,000°F, lightning can reach a scorching 50,000°F! So yeah, when the sky decides to throw a tantrum, it's basically firing off supercharged space lasers.
