What you just saw is a natural phenomenon called lightning. Now let me explain how lightning happens. Inside clouds, tiny particles collide and create electric charges. The top of the cloud becomes positive, and the bottom becomes negative. At the same time, the ground builds up positive charge. As the difference grows, the energy becomes stronger. Then suddenly, the energy releases in a powerful strike. This heats the air extremely fast. And that creates the sound we hear as thunder.
