| DOLORES loses capacitance http://engineering.wikia.com/wiki/Capacitor Consider the water of the storm retaining charges like charge plates. The 'plates' shrink, hence capacitance decreases. The charges then have nothing holding them together and so the voltages increase. Since there are conductive pathways in the upper atmosphere as well as on earth, the potential difference increases on other locations--such as where the lightning was occurring there. Path of Dolores: http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane/e_pacific/2009/index.html Last 24 hours--see how lightning behaviors cue with disorganization of Dolores as he moves over colder SSTs.
