(documentation Lightning EnglishLanguage "A WeatherProcess which involves a significant release of electricity between two electrically charged regions. One or both regions are within the atmosphere in a &WaterCloud, with the second region sometimes occuring on the ground. [Wikipedia] At the moment, we are modeling electricity as flowing from one region to another. Another way to model it is that it is a change of electrical potential at all points on the path. It would be worth revisiting this term by a specialist in Physics.") Weather.kif 1395-1400 Lightning is a subclass of radiating
