If lightning strikes a sand bed, it will form a fused tube in the sand, known as Fulgurite. This form is not confined to surface conditions, tubes are found up to 15m below the surface, and Fulgurite tubes may be up to a few cm in dia.

How does ball lightning form?
Ball lightning is usually associated with thunderstorms, but lasts considerably longer than the split-second flash of a lightning bolt. Many of the early reports say that the ball eventually explodes, sometimes with fatal consequences, leaving behind the odor of sulfur. I think that when lightning flashes electric magnetic fields combine and get the end of the lightning bolt and curve it baking it into a ball. watch this video of ball lightning at www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4vV3KxQ16c

How many seconds behind is the thunder before the lightning?
Light is virtually instantaneous over any distance you'd be aware of a thunderstorm going on. Sound, however, takes five seconds to travel through air for each mile. If the thunder and the lightning are simultaneous, the lightning strike is very close to you. If the thunder is five seconds after the lightning, the lightning was one mile away. If the thunder is ten seconds after the lightning, the lightning was 2 miles away, and so on.
