Lighting is caused by static charge, not that lighting is a static charge . It happen when unlike charge come in attraction.
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.
Friction is the force that causes static charge
it has a positive charge so the negative item attract to it if it is light enough
in my own explanation static charge is a reaction between the (+)protons and (-)electrons an the effect of this reaction is called static electricity.

Friction in the cloud creates static charge. Eventually the charge becomes big enough and 'jumps' to the ground.

The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.
it attracts pepper not salt ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This statement is inaccurate. pepper is simply lighter than salt but they will both be attracted to the static if the charge is strong enough. Any questions google it.
Static electricity DOES have an electric charge.
