timesnewsonline | The Appalachian Adventurer: Lightning Storm from Above @timesnewsonline | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
In this latest installment of the Appalachian Adventurer, we view a Lightning Storm from above the clouds, captured via cell phone by Allen Rau, CEO of Six Rivers Media. The video was shot during a late night flight from Atlanta, GA to Sarasota, FL on March 26th.
Flying through storms is generally safe for modern aircraft, as planes are designed to withstand storms, lightning, or heavy rain. Passengers are protected by Faraday Cages, mesh or plated containers running through the plane that shield from electric fields such as lightning strikes.
That doesn't mean a large storm still isn't scary, though.
