shinyblurrysays...Why did the lightning go away from the ground instead of towards it?
nanrodsays...Because that's what lightning usually does. Actually it goes both ways. A weaker charge goes cloud to ground and ionizes a pathway for a much larger charge to go up. Both the up and down stroke happen so fast your eyes usually perceive only the brighter upstroke. This video has been slowed down.

Mordhausjokingly says...Because everything is backwards here in Austin.

wtfcaniusesays...This looks more like ground to cloud caused by the strike just before the vertically propagating "tree". Lookup videos of "Anvil crawlers" btw, they're amazing without having to be slowed.
