Pretty astute observation Dennis, I agree.
It seems that while some "tendrils" do shoot outwards perpendicular from the
main stream, most tend to follow the same general direction of it. Similar to
the roots of a plant.
Mondivirtuali, I'll probably end up posting it as a contribution to the
resource page when I get done playing with it, but its nothing too special.
Not two, not one.

The reason different branches stick out like that is because the electrons being discharged from the ground look for the path through the air with the least resistance. However, when a 'branch' encounters too much resistance, it will go back to a path that does make it to the clouds. Science lesson of the day. Nice effect too

you should add a flash after it. Pretty impressive though.
I discovered video game development was not my life's passion, that's why I'M SELLING MY 3D GAME STUDIO PRO for 1/3 of the full price.
