It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Oh Subby, you couldn't be more wrong. This is a "Lightening Storm". You can tell the difference because there are no Sprites. Sprites are very heavy because they are so large.

FTA: "A crew on-board the International Space Station have captured images of a lightening storm over southern Africa as they passed overheard."

Lightning is cool no matter what.


Even if you die from it, it's still a cool way to die.
