How do electrons which are repulsive form lightening? How would they
gather together in a stroke and be repulsive at the same time? |

They are attracted to positive ions nearby.

They all follow the path of least resistance - to the positive ions,
of course.

Rub your feet on a more affluent neighbor's carpet on a dry day and
touch a grounded conductor. See the concentrated spark? THETA PINCH.
What physical appendage would you recommend
to perform that experiment?

What is creating the ions? How did they loose the electron? |

This brings up a question that I have never found an answer for. Back
in the olden days, before Rural Electrification, the country was
largely without any extensive electrical conductors other than
railroad tracks. The cloud charge and it's balancing ground charge
have to move along together, more or less. Did the storm cells tend to
follow the railroads if they happened to be laid out in approximately
the same direction the storm was moving?
I'm thinking of two severe tornados that followed the Santa Fe
railroad tracks from near Amarillo, Texas to near Wichita, Kansas,
back in the spring of 1947. Did these two storms, about two weeks
apart, follow the railroad tracks because of the lower resistance
afforded the ground charge by the iron rails?

Dang, that's an intersting thought!!!
Thank you

There is no "balancing ground charge", clouds have excess charge.
Both weather and railroads tend to follow valleys, though for
different reasons.

If you had payed attention in grade school science class you wouldn't
be asking the question.
You are obviously not smarter than a 5th grader.

Like charges they are repulsive. How will they then gather together?
Like in lightening. |
