DYK: Positive lightning is particularly dangerous. It originates at the top of a thunderstorm, where cloud tops are positively charged and can strike as many as 25 miles away from its parent thunderstorm, where the ground is negatively charged.
Negative lightning originates from lower-level clouds in a thunderstorm and the bolts often strike directly under the thunderstorm where the ground is positively charged.
