Some fun facts: Some scientists think that lightning may have played a part in the evolution of living organisms. The immense heat and other energy given off during a stroke has been found to convert elements into compounds that are found in organisms. The saguaro is the largest cactus in the United States. With the right growing conditions, it is estimated that saguaros can live to be as much as 150-200 years old. An arm takes 75 years to grow. When rain is plentiful and the saguaro is fully hydrated it can weigh between 3200-4800 pounds. www.TheLightningMan.com
