Rare Upward Lightning

Occurred on October 7, 2017 / Santo Antônio da Platina, Paraná, BrasilShow more

Info from Licensor: "According to experts, this type of phenomenon happens when the lightning bolts start from tall metallic structures like antennas in the top of buildings, and rise towards the clouds. Only 1% of lightning strikes rise instead of descend, and few countries have been able to record images of this phenomenon. Brazil is one of them. The first ascending lightning strikes were recorded at Pico do Jaraguá, São Paulo city."
