Glass in the sand?
How can I find the sand on the beach, that has turned to glass, by lightning?
About Me
ALES LOMBERGAR is one of the few artisans in Europe who still practice the ancient art of glass acid etching which flourished in the late 19th century. Decorations are applied with resin resists by hand and then exposed to acid baths, with no machinery used. More information here.Recent in portfolio

Go out after a thunderstorm with lots of cloud to ground lightning and look for it.
There are lightning sensors across the US that record every ground lightning strike. The data includes approximate GPS coordinates and the magnitude of the strike (ex. 20,000 amps). Below is a link to a company that captures this data and provides it to utilities, insurance companies and others.

Downed power lines can also turn sandy soil into glass.

Alas, Wild winds, thundering noises, clanging and banging. The glass has shattered.
Behold, the sand on the beach has returned, to all its glory.

yes… you may find it in some times ……this is because the composition of glass is mainly sand and other components may also be present in sand……..when any kind of high temperature strikes the sand …..it may possibly change to glass…..so it is possible to find glass in sand after a lightning..u just find out the necessary information to expect a lightning from a nearby weather forecast centre

Such items are called fulgurites. The highest part of the beach would be most apt to have them, of course. Look for root or tube shaped formations buried slightly or not buried at all. Some golf courses (those with many sand traps) are good places to look, as well. While you’re at it, see if you can find any of my golf balls.

more likely by lava than by lightening.
