We all know what it refers to, so why jump on the guy's back for it? From NOAA's "Questions and Answers about Lightning": according to H20 heat lightning doesnt exist, NOAA is wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term heat lightning doesn't make sense. Distant lightning is a far better term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
