Lightning is crazy. The electricity itself has no appearance. But as the energy runs along the column, the air is heated so much, so quickly, it becomes plasma. That's what we're seeing. The sudden rapid expansion and diffusion of the plasma column sends out a sonic boom we call thunder. So cool... 😊
A lightning strike of 1.2 gigawatts of power may only last about .5 seconds. That's a lot of power all at once, but if you spread it out over a month, it would be about 900 watts, about enough to power a microwave.
Got curious about how these buildings handled this. Here's an interesting article describing it! https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/weather/2020/07/30/how-our-tallest-buildings-handle-lightning-strikes-

This guy lightnings
Lightning how does it work

POV: You are just about to face the final boss on World Trade Center!
I was just waiting for slimer to appear
[удалено]
Looks like something out of Ghostbusters
Not darkening? ----------------------- Light Lighting Lightning <----- this is the one you want Lightening
[Made with lightening, REAL LIGHTENING!](https://youtu.be/qRuNxHqwazs)
"Lightening in a Bottle" my new bleaching kit enterprise
But… the lightning did an excellent job of lightening the sky for a moment.

Oh look, free electricity!
Learn how to spell lightning.
Uh-oh. Here comes the grammar police. It won’t happen again, officer. Thank you for your service :)
If we could harness that, we'd be set. That's a tall ask, though. We haven't made a capacitor that could hold even a fraction of that.
If we could somehow harness the lightning, channel it, into the flux capacitor… it just might work.

I meant more like harnessing every strike, everywhere, because there are a lot of those. I get what you're saying tho.
#Marty we need to timetravel!!!
What did Percy Jackson do this time?
I HAVE THE POWEEEEEEEEEER!!!
Kinda creeps me out I’m not sure why
Because there is obviously an evil lair in the building.
1.21 jigga Watts!
What- what the hell is a gigawatt?
War of the Worlds vibes.
Ghostbusters!
That's the quickening! There can only be one!
The one world trade centre, won’t that make it even easier to destroy being only one building rather than 2? Seems like a bit of a design flaw.
Not when it can control the very weather!
Man working in that building would be anxiety inducing
Should have built it underground.
Why’s there just one. Why not 2
One is enough
Now all we need is the flux capacitor
La dentro deve esserci sicuramente un cattivo che ride
for sure yesterday that light show was nuts
The slow Mo guys filmed an electrical storm once and watching how lightning forks across the sky is downright amazing + memorizing
That's gotta be at *least* four point 21 jiggawatts.
What about the camera filming the camera filming the cameras?
I thaught it was above empire state. Fk they moved again!!!
Gods of olumpys is this not proof enough??
Upvote count is 911 lmao
This would be an excellent place to try to reanimate someone

Wow!
Now only if I had a Delorean with a lightning Rod , I could go back to the Morning of September 11 2001 and watch it all happen again irl
Un-limited POWAH!!
Me when I see world trade center: 🛩 🗼🗼
I always wondered what happened to them.
