That would be ludicrous, however, don't argue with me, argue with the guys on physforum, you know, the ones who discuss stuff like this one a daily basis.
that calculation is wrong bro you cant take info from a random forum as true.
the average lightning bolt travels at 224000 mph thats almost mach 300
machs in the thousands is overshotting it by alot
