Lightnings over the Gulf of Finland. Filmed in Tallinn on top of Linnahall by Tarmo Rouhiainen. Assistants of watching, commenting and having beer, keeping conversation about energy over one hour while filming Sauli Vainio and Dainora Zaleckyte. Music: Vivaldi "The Four Seasons. The Summer (Tempo impettuoso d'Estate Presto)" WHAT IS LIGHTNING? Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity accompanied by thunder. In the atmospheric electrical discharge, a leader of a bolt of lightning can travel at speeds of 60000 m/s (130000 mph), and can reach temperatures approaching 30000 °C (54000 °F). The irrational fear of lightning (and thunder) is astraphobia. The study or science of lightning is called fulminology, and someone who studies lightning is referred to as a fulminologist.
