Contrary to popular belief, lightning travels upwards from the earth.

Correct from a certain point of view, but actually it's mutual. There are different types of lightning, but in a typical generic ground "strike" the positively charged cloud initiates it. The negatively charged ground sends up a return stroke and then electricity is exchanged rapidly back and forth. It is true though that the "flash" travels from negative to positive whether from ground to cloud or cloud to cloud.

The best way to think of it though is as one singular event with the cloud, ground and lightning channel being in actuality one enclosed system. So the lightning doesn't really "go" anywhere. It simply comes into existence then ceases.

I am always first and foremost a scientist.
