lightning actually travels upwards toward the clouds, but it happens so fast you can't see it. For direction, it depends on the which cloud the lightning is striking and where it's at in the sky.

The flash of light you see when lightning hits, actually comes from when the charge is grounded. In other words, the flash comes from the ground up.

lightning doesn't strike down or up, think of lightning as a conection of electricity from the sky to the ground. in short, lightning starts from the ground going up, and the sky going down to connect in the center.

I am under the belief that lightning comes from the ground.
goes up and comes back down again.
or meets another bolt coming down from the sky.

Lighting "strikes" from the ground up.
