I know it hasn't come out yet, but when 1.5 comes out with weather, the lighting could start a forest fire, right? So for people that are playing on crappy computers (a.k.a. ME), wouldn't it lag our games horribly? Thanks to everybody who replies, I just wanted to clear a worry that has been bothering me.

When you fail, think of it as an opportunity to hone your skills or to eat pizza.

Notch, Jeb, and C418 are my bodyguards. Nuff' said.
The fire started by lightning is extinguished by the rain mere moments after it begins, and may, from what little we have seen, not actually be fire at all, but merely a visual decoration.

My Grandmother passed away on Sunday, the 7th of August, 2011. I am taking an extended leave of absence in light of this. My apologies.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought it was just a little visual effect, like the fire things that come off of lava.
I have to say this for the 100'th time NO IT WON'T
The rain will put out fires instantly
This.
There really needs to be a sticky topic on this board just to announce LIGHTNING DOES NOT START FIRES. It's a perfectly understandable concern, but it really has be brought up constantly since it was mentioned.

I hope netherrack keeps burning, though.

Oh...sorry if this has been posted already, search doesn't work right for me.
It's a lovely little thread that can answer all of your questions about 1.5.

Everytime i log on, i expect to see my warn status go up.
What if there's thunderstorms without rain? I've seen some where I live before.
Or maybe rain doesn't put out fire instantly? Unless I missed something, notch said it puts out fires, but he didn't say how fast.
I remember one time my little cousin was so freaked out because he had never seen a thunderstorm without rain.
OT: I remember seeing a forest fire in the video they put out, and it didn't go out. :/ They probably changed something though.
