		He was one of the first to apply electricity in the treatment of disease.

		The first lightning-rod was erected by Divisch at Prenditz, in 1754, before Franklin's suggestions were known and before they had been carried out elsewhere.

		The RAF received its first Lightnings in December 1959, in the form of three development batch P.1Bs to be used for operational workup.
		The Lightning was superior in terms of gun armament, however, since RAF Phantoms were limited to carriage of a centerline 20 millimeter Vulcan cannon pod, which lacked both the accuracy and the hitting power of the Lightning's twin Aden cannon.
		Lightning pilots were said to be the last people in the world who would run out of gas while driving on a road trip, as checking fuel levels was an activity somewhat like breathing to them.

	wvlightning.com - Lightning video ghosting defect
		This lightning flash was not only very distant (over ten miles away), but it emerged from the side of the storm's updraft tower, making a very long length of the channel visible to the camera.
		Both of these lightning strikes were several miles away, but their location on screen coupled with the 'ghosting' artifact make it look like part of the lightning came off of the side of my head and from the middle of my back.
		As a result, we can see that the lightning came down just behind the row of trees in the foreground, but was still in front of the second row of trees in the background (not in front of the first treeline as the ghosting would suggest).

	NSSL Lightning Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Lightning occurs less frequently in the winter because there is not as much instability and moisture in the atmosphere as there is in the summer.
		A particularly difficult situation is the first flash from a storm--watch for a storm that is growing quickly, such as when a storm is becoming very dark at its base or is growing very tall.
		The most common situation for a lightning death or injury in Florida was found NOT to be in the heaviest rain area with lots of flashes, but after or before the time when rain and lightning was the most intense.

	First complete world map of lightning activity - 06 December 2001 - New Scientist
		Lightning occurs when electrical potential builds up inside clouds, in the form of turbulence between ice crystals and water droplets with either a positive and negative charge.
		This electrical potential is discharged in the form of lightning, which can strike the ground, pass between two clouds and occur inside the same cloud.
		The first lightning maps were constructed from ground-based detectors, which left many parts of the world unmapped.

		This project, codenamed First Lightning after the Soviets' version of the Manhattan Project, was to use Mischa to assess the suitability of alien offspring as soldiers for the State.
		However, to preserve this state of affairs, it is imperative that First Lightning never learn of the alien colony we are maintaining for the Department of the Navy in Brickstown.
		The best way to defang First Lightning would therefore be a media campaign drawing public attention to his alien origins, his former Communist ties, his psychic powers and his natural radiation.
