Bolt from the blue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bolt from the blue is a term which refers to a form of lightning that strikes out of an apparently cloudless sky. In fact, it actually originates from the anvil cloud atop a thunderstorm which may be as far as twenty miles away. It carries around ten times the current of an ordinary bolt of lightning and has a positive charge while most other lightning has a negative one. This commonly is known as positive lightning.
