Lightning is basically the precursor of an electrical discharge -- positively-charged particles neutralizing negatively-charged in a violent manner. Before the charges neutralize, they travel a long distance through a high resistance (moist air). The heat of the current through the high resistance is so intense that the resulting radiation can be visible as the light in the night sky. Moving charges is electricity.
