Aw man I've spent the last hour trying to find a post from this winter. Dude who had a meltdown and basically called all of us smoothbrain drama kids and never came back. Did he delete his account?

As far as I'm aware lightning is over in an instant, but perhaps there are wonky intricacies to electrical fields I am unaware of. Lightning strikes are extreme, uncontrolled, localized electrical events. If there were anywhere in our natural world where balls of floating electricity or a phenomena of the sort would happen, it would be in the wake of a lightning strike. If you've ever seen lightning up close and/or in slow motion, you've probably seen the main channel of ignited air contracting into ordered beads of plasma as the whole thing dissipates. My bet is that ball lightning itself does not exist as its own phenomena, but rather when you are close enough to a lightning strike, you're not far away enough to see the ordered channel of dissipating plasma beads in its entire macro scale, but rather instead seeing the one or two individual beads that are right in front of you. This woild make sense since most ball lightning reports are very close encounters, and the beading phenomena itself is sort of rare, probably reserved for positively charged lightning strikes, adding to the phenomena's obscurity.

I’m not real familiar with her. My husband has 2 Uncles that were Mayors of Nogales. Talk about living dangerously. I can’t post what happened. But people died. It’s a part of the world stuck in both the past and present. It has much to offer but the hurtles are incredibly substantial.

Oh there’ll be lots of that in due time.
