If I remember correctly, electricity will jump through the air at 20 volts per millimeter or thousandth of a meter. If a lightning bolt is 20 kilometers in length you can do the math. It's a lot by the time it strikes a tree...
Actually a lot more to get a spark to jump the gap - just about 75,000 volts per inch (3000 volts per milimeter). You can sustain an arc with less once you have ionized the air in the gap, but it takes a bunch to get it going.

That does explain a few things. Especially the British insistence that you only make tea by filling a kettle with cold water, making it seem as if the starting temperature makes some difference in the flavor.
I always fill my kettle with cold water because i read there's critters in the warm water pipes.
