Lightning in Slow Motion

Lightning strikes extremely fast and in most cases cannot be fully appreciated by the naked eye. Because of this nature lightning is also somewhat difficult to study and predict. However, researcher Tim Samaras intends to change that. By setting up a rig of five cameras and other sophisticated electronic equipment, he manages to film lightning much better than anyone ever can--at 10,000 frames per second. Thanks to his efforts lightning can now be studied closer and be predicted easier, which could decrease the number of lightning-related fatalities. Of course, no one should be out in any kind of bad weather, but sometimes it can't be helped.
