One lone, long spark sliced the city-lit, lightly rainy night sky, in the trailing precipitation area of a small, fast-moving thunderstorm cluster. Discharges like this originate high in the cloud canopy, where ice crystals dominate the precip type, and charge still can build enough to connect through a few miles of wet air to the ground. This one appears to hit the building at left, behind trees, but instead contacted its ground somewhere much more distant.
