Why did u ask fo
It takes less than 1/1000th of a second for the initial discharge, which can travel at up to 60,000 m/sec (130,000 mph). The actual illumination of the air can last anywhere from one to ten seconds as multiple discharges are common.

A typical lightning strike is over in a few milliseconds. The thunder travels at the speed of sound.
Should lightning strike a body of water, How far will theelectricity travel in the water?
Will the of the strength electricity dissipate with distance?

The ground
Yes... It's a Tornado, but the difference of a waterspout hits a body of water. And a Tornado hits a body of land.
Lightning and thunder comes from the cumulonimbus cloud and hits the earth.
No, most lightning never hits the ground..
Of Course it Does Lightning strikes the ocean all the time. You can see a picture of it happening in the associated link. But you can also see that it's not nearly as common as over land because the storms don't get driven as hard by hot ground.
Yes,lightning does hit sea water
the lightning vaporizes the water it hits and also charges the water with electricity (don't go swimming)
As in oil floating in a body of water such as, say...the Gulf of Mexico, the lighting discharge would ignite the oil on the surface, and it would burn.
The ground
Yes... It's a Tornado, but the difference of a waterspout hits a body of water. And a Tornado hits a body of land.
The lightning hits trees, then the heat makes the fire.
The lightning has no path to ground.
Well when it hits all the charge will most likely disable the electrics of the car, it will travel down the car, the rubbers tyres will insulate you from electrocution.
Muck fires start when lightning hits the soil and burns for weeks unless water comes in and puts it out.
lightning makes glass when it hits sandy soil. its called a fulgurite.
Nothing happens. The lightning will not affect the tornado.
Lightning and thunder comes from the cumulonimbus cloud and hits the earth.
