## Caption

Can you spot Prince in these purple clouds? ☔️ Just kidding. But, here's why these clouds look so cool. Lightning can jump from #cloud to cloud or leap between regions of the same cloud that have different electrical charges. This latter type, called intra-cloud lightning, is actually the most common type of #lightning.
