liquidglue:sixpenceee:Ribbon lightning is when a bolt of lightning separates due to wind and appears as parallel lightning streaks.drakesideheaux look at this lightning bThese photos are cool, but the original post isn’t entirely accurate. The bolt of lightning does not actually “separate.” Those are actually two separate return strokes that occur at different times, but because they happen so quickly, the camera exposure makes them appear to strike simultaneously. The original post is correct that high winds are a factor in this appearance however, because the wind pushes the source of the lightning (like a cloud) so that the return strokes appear in slightly different places. -- source link
