Transpicuous News: Lightning or Earth Electrical Discharge?

Oh the Questions.  I love it when you read a news story, that's carried by every news agency across the planet and not one of them has the same information or facts.   "Wild Lightning in Paris" hit's 11, or 9 or 5 or .... some people, Killing 3 or 5 or 1.... or critically injuring 8 or 3 or 1 person....  Yep. Immediately my alarm bells ring and I have to go a diggin'!!!
