Nature Corner/Storybook Room for Saturday morning, August 15, 2026
Uncle Bob Devine's guest shows up with a flash and a boom, Leonard Lightning
Leonard is created during rainstorms when small drops of falling rain rub against a rising column of air. That rubbing action builds up static electricity in the rainclouds. When then static electricity builds high enough, the charges will find somewhere to escape; either to another cloud or to the ground.
Let's let Leonard tell you more about lightning!
