When lightning strike a wet sandy beach or desert, there is the potential to melt the sand below the surface, forming 'petrified lightning' that looks like a deer's antler. THAT would be kewl of dig one of these up...

Did you know that lightning regularly strikes the ocean's surface too, and can travel downward to a depth of about 1-mile through the water? ]]> Sun, 06 Sep 2009 07:30:02 PST http://www.picable.com/People/Activities/Camping/Melted-Powerline-Fossilized-Lightning.998511#comment1531005 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 13:31:03 PST http://www.picable.com/People/Activities/Camping/Melted-Powerline-Fossilized-Lightning.998511#comment1530177 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 09:16:09 PST
