return stroke has usually the highest magnitude of the multiple stroke series. The heating effect of this current on the atmosphere produces the violent air expansion which we recognize as a thunder-clap. The initial leader stroke and main return stroke are generally followed by sub - sequent leaders and return strokes in rapid succession.
