Below is a short section of what explains how we can 'smell' Lightening:-

This odor was referred to by Benjamin Franklin who, comparing lightning and electricity, wrote to the Royal Society in London that both phenomena are attended by a sulphurous smell. This he mentioned among twelve other properties which suggested that lightning is an electrical discharge. No importance was attributed by him or by anyone else since to this sulphurous smell. The smell of ozone is different from the smell of vaporized sulphur or sulphurous compounds, and the supposition that the ancients were unable to distinguish between the two disregards the fact that besides the smell of ozone a sulphurous smell follows an electric discharge.

This suggests to me that sulphur is actually produced from the air by the passage of an electrical discharge. The quantity of sulphur must be detectable in a careful laboratory experiment.

You need to put the apostrophe in King's Lynn Debbie, then it works fine. It won't show Norfolk because that's a county and it asks for a town. My Granddad was born in King's Lynn which has absolutely nothing to do with anything but he always thought he was born in Ipswich, which isn't even in the same county! His birth certificate said "Freebridge L" and we had no idea where that was until we found Freebridge Lynn by accident.
