Scientists Discover Evidence Of Dark Lightning

In short: storms sometimes release some of their pent up electromagnetic energy not in the form of an obvious bolt of electrons, but an invisible burst of X-rays and gamma rays. Such a bust would go by un-noticed, but if you are unfortunate enough to be in an aircraft and take such a burst, you might get a lifetimes supply of gamma rays in a microsecond.

Radiation is everywhere, Even the clouds want to spread evil horrible nuclear rads all over everywhere. And yet somehow life manages to hang on.
