There Is No Dana, Only Zuul

Behold a rare spectacle of nature: cloud-to-air lightning! In this mesmerizing display, electrical energy within the storm cloud finds a path not to the ground, but into the surrounding air. Unlike the more common cloud-to-ground lightning, here the charge is released upwards.
This phenomenon occurs when the storm's internal electric fields become strong enough to overcome the insulating properties of air. The powerful forces at work inside the cloud create paths of least resistance, allowing this unique lightning form to be visible.
Cloud-to-air lightning helps balance the electrical charge within the cloud itself, showcasing a complex and fascinating aspect of weather dynamics.
