A lightning strike or lightning bolt is a lightning event in which the electric discharge takes place between the atmosphere and the ground. Most originate in a cumulonimbus cloud and terminate on the ground, called cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning.
It is estimated that lightning injuries occur 240,000 times a year with 24,000 deaths. Among pregnant women who are hit by lightning, the death of the fetus occurs in about half. In the United States about 1 in 10,000 people are hit by lightning during their lifetime. Males are affected four times more often than females.
