A restless planet for sure.

Re: Lightning strikes
Stunning!
Global map of lightning frequency--strikes/km2/yr. The high lightning areas are on land located in the tropics.

On Earth, the lightning frequency is approximately 40–50 times a second or nearly 1.4 billion flashes per year and the average duration is 0.2 seconds made up from a number of much shorter flashes (strokes) of around 30 microseconds.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
