abstract = "In this paper we analyze images of a lightning flashover induced
by a downward negative lightning flash that struck a transmission
line located in S{\~a}o Paulo, Brazil. The lightning flash and
the flashover were recorded by a high-speed camera running at
10,000 images per second. The approach of the negative downward
leader did not launch an induced positive upward leader prior to
the return stroke. One of the AC transmission lines that run over
a railway line was struck. The flashover exhibits an oscillatory
behavior. The flickering of the image occurs at exactly 120 Hz.
The return stroke that struck the line had an estimated peak
current of a moderate intensity. It was however, followed by a
continuing current lasting 17 ms and an intense M-component that
may have contributed to the occurrence of the flashover.",
