Dave, I believe with most severe storms their is a weakly interacting massive particle orbiting through the atmosphere and back into the Earth. It is creating the low pressure and resulting static discharge/lightning. The particle(s) are triggering beta decays with the surrounding gas and Earth.
A big particle acts just like his little brother the neutrino. They orbit, they decay, they collapse and they raise hell with matter. Tasmanian devil is probably better than what I used to call them. They are the black areas of the Mandelbrot set, we are the colorful frill.
