I don't usually watch a lot of Prime Time TV so I don't usually catch these things before hand. I just happened to see that National Geographic TV has an episode on tonight's Naked Science 10:00pm ET called Lightning Chasers that sounded very interesting. Especially after viewing the slow motion lightning video that was posted earlier. I don't know if this is a reboadcast of an earlier episode, so forgive me if this is something old. It just sounded interesting to me and I thought others might enjoy it as well.
