Lightning StrokesLightning Strokes At i llihtiA typical lightning Lightning Stroke Shape 'stroke' can last for over one second gg p over one second and consist of many 'strokes' (discharges) , sometimes over ten, each with aneach with an 'arc-channel' current of between 2kA and 200kA (1% of200kA (1% of strokes exceed 200kA).
