getting a shock
If the static charge has enough potential stored, there may be a risk of harm. Most commen occurances of static electricity being discharged is barley enough to sting the average human, leaving no permanent harm. Severe collections of static electricity, such as found in storm clouds, can discharge enough power to form lightening.
An electrical discharge: * Can burn you * Stop your heart from beating * Affect your brains operation * (For very high voltage and amperage) blow off parts of your body
Flash produced by a discharge of atmospheric electricity is known as lightning. Lightning occurs when a build-up of electrical charge in the atmosphere is released, resulting in a visible flash of light and a loud thunderous sound. Lightning can be dangerous and cause damage to structures and harm to living organisms.
A discharge of static electricity from a huge cloud is called lightning.
Static discharge is the spark associated with static electricity that is caused by electrostatic discharge.

An atmospheric discharge of static electricity is commonly known as lightning. Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge that occurs during a thunderstorm when there is a buildup of electric charge in the atmosphere.
Lightning, which is a visible electric discharge between the clouds or between the clouds and the ground. This discharge of static electricity heats the surrounding air, causing a rapid expansion that creates thunder.
i think its static electricity.
