I have a bit of a fascination with thunderstorms and recently during a severe thunderstorm a question popped in my head: What happens when lightning strikes a pond, lake, or in the ocean? We know that water carries electricity… so does that mean when lightning strikes these waters that any of the fish or mammals that live in these waters are electrocuted? If the electricity is carried through the water, how far will the electrical current spread?
