Huge lightening storm over lake erie. I have never seen one this active. People are saying it went on all night. That is a lot of energy.

I wonder if it is related to this

Getting ready for the Big Burnoff of the Chicago area?

They are setting the stage for climate lockdowns.

Try to remember that before we invented door locks there was no such thing as a lockdown.

Without door locks we will be at the mercy of thieves. That may work in 10th century England, but now even London is minority white along with the rest of the world.

As a broader concept rejecting technology does not save you from others using it to oppress you, it puts you in a weaker position. The solution is to get the best command of technology you can and use it to your advantage.

    I think that would have everything to do with contamination in the water and any spark could start it. No amount of lightening can make water burn.

    This is actually scientifically untrue.

    If you run sufficient current through water you can break the bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen into hydrogen and O2 gas. Both of which are extremely flammable and will combust easily. So it's scientifically possible.

    That said this is definitely not what happens in nature as lighting tends to be far too instantaneous to create enough hydrogen or oxygen gas.

    Naturally occurring flammable water is almost always the result of either crude oil or methane deposits, but both have been known to happen naturally.

    I live in the midwest along the Mississippi.

    I've seen lightning this intense and frequent several times each summer for a lot of years.

    A few times I've seen it to the north and south of me at the same time.

    Of all the great lakes, that one really gets the worst of the dumping. I wouldn't dip a toe in it that I wanted to keep.
