Arab Weather - The Vice President of the Saudi Weather and Climate Society, Dr. Abdullah Al-Misnad, answered questions related to the movement of lightning, referring to the lightning that strikes the peaks of the highest Shada Mountains in the Al-Baha region. He explained that lightning can move from top to bottom, starting from the clouds towards the ground, and sometimes it starts from the ground and heads towards the clouds.

He added that lightning doesn't just move in one direction, it can move left and right, and sometimes changes direction after starting from the top, to move back up. So, when watching slow motion videos, unfamiliar shapes of lightning may appear due to its multiple paths changing.
