- Lightning is a natural atmospheric electrical discharge that occurs between regions of net positive and net negative electrical charges created when warm low-pressure air rises through cold high pressure air. In Kenya, lightning strikes are prevalent during the seasons of long rains of March to May.
- Lightning can cause injuries through several mechanisms. These include passage of electric current on/through body tissues; burns due to conversion of electrical to thermal energy; blunt trauma as a result of being thrown by a lightning shock wave or from shrapnel-like injuries by debris from exploded tree . . .
