ARIZONA

Lightning flashes hit the desert near Tucson, Arizona, in the five-minute time exposure photograph shown here. Each flash contains about one billion volts of electricity. That's enough energy to light a 100-watt bulb for three months.Lightning is the #2 source of storm deaths in the U.S., killing more people than tornadoes or hurricanes. Lightning also inflicts life-long debilitating injuries on many more than it kills.
