Lightning Channel, with temperatures up to 50,000 deg F:

Lightning currents range from 200 kA (99 percentile & 400kA/microsecond slew rate),
with an average of around 30 kA with a ~150 kA/microsecond slew rate.
The #6 "vertical ground" carries only a very small fraction of the energy from a lightning strike.
