Saw this question posed in our daily paper here in Orlando today, and it suprised me with the answer, so.....

What is the largest diameter of a lightening bolt ever recorded?

I know the answer,, but take a guess! I will post the answer in 1 hour. No cheating by searching the net!
 
I say maybey a couple centimeters around? Can't be too big. I think visually it fools you because you see the light generated but the actual size of the electricity has to be small right?
 
it sould be less than a foot . and it starts at the bottom and goes up...just a little extra info lol

ps i am sure on that it startes that the bottom but i am not sure about the zire
 
Next time it rains I'm going to put a tinfoil hat on my... Tick-Tack and lay at full mast on top of a hill. :w00t:

nope and you can't find it at CockBuster. If you have a Spotlight Video they will have it.

No, not from experience, but we used to watch the bums and crack whores light up all day when i worked in the car business - the dealership was in the ghetto.

=======================================

THE ANSWER:


The biggest diameter lightening bolt ever recorded was 2.1 inches. Eddy was the closest! He wins a big fat bag of nothing!
