chain lightning
Chain lightning is a type of lightning discharge that is characterized by its branching nature. It is marked by a series of short, intense bursts that appear to move quickly along a jagged, zigzagging and often multi-branched path. It is named such because the lightning seems to move or "jump" from one place to another, similar to links in a chain.
