Manage episode 415314008 series 2614277
As severe storm season nears its peak, we tackle some persistent myths about lightning and why they have continued for so long.

He also discusses lightning mitigation technology, the frequency of lightning strikes, and shares other facts and safety tips to help clear the air about this powerful force of nature.
