Wow! If that lightening is real and not CGI or otherwise enhanced...never seen such intensity.

It would be hard for lightning to strike China w/o hitting someone.
Communist China needs a few mega disasters to knock it down a few pegs.
It looks time lapsed
They’re just working on some weapons. Nothing new...but back to fighting over condoms here.
Yes, their already-leaky Three Gorges Dam... would be a Damn shame if something were to happen to it (from Mother nature, that is). It generates a LOT of power, and a LOT of computer miners depend on it.

Would not effect the CCP which is itself the real problem. The CCP official and internal response: CCP would have it all cleaned up in record time with little loss of life, if any at all, and lots of heroes to parade on TV and spin off into hit TV shows. The CCP is not like any other government on Earth.
Gee what a shame.
Second video, strong EF-2 tornado somewhere in China.
Look like it’s coming from the ground up. I think it’s fake.
Than you have never been through a Texas thunderstorm.
Lightning can strike from the ground up.
Does lightning strike from the sky down, or the ground up?
The answer is both. Cloud-to-ground lightning comes from the sky down, but the part you see comes from the ground up. A typical cloud-to-ground flash lowers a path of negative electricity (that we cannot see) towards the ground in a series of spurts. Objects on the ground generally have a positive charge. Since opposites attract, an upward streamer is sent out from the object about to be struck. When these two paths meet, a return stroke zips back up to the sky. It is the return stroke that produces the visible flash, but it all happens so fast - in about one-millionth of a second - so the human eye doesn’t see the actual formation of the stroke.
Thank you for the great explanation
It looks time lapsed ...
It is looped also. Eastern Colorado has much larger lightning storms.
Couldn’t happen to a happier place!!
You evidently don’t live in the Great Plains.
I used to really enjoy watching storms like that as a kid on the Texas Oklahoma border
Hamas has really long range rockets and really bad guidance?
later
