    A lightning bolt struck over Oklahoma, which traveled about three-quarters of the length of the United States, on June 20th, 2007. The lightning bolt struck from Tulsa, near the Arkansas border, to near the Oklahoma Panhandle, which is 199.5 miles or 321 kilometres. This is important since lightning can start tens or hundreds of miles away and then come back to where you are, so people have to be careful of where lightning is coming to grounds even if the storm past. The World Meteorological Organization confirmed that the longest duration of a single flash of lightning was 7.74 seconds, which occurred over Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, France, on August 30th, 2012.…
