Thunder And Lightning!?

Question

I LOVE IT DO YOU??

Answer 1

NOPE!

Answer 2

Lightning is a natural event, in which a bright flash is produced as a result of the high-voltage electrical discharge amongst the cloud and the ground. It is capable of scintillating for more then few seconds and is a perceptible form of energy transfer. Lightning is usually accompanied by rain storm, volcanic eruptions, and dust storms. The primary source of lightning is thunderstorms. Lightning can injure your vital organs such as lungs, heart, and brain. Lightning can injure a person through its intense heat, mechanically energy, and through th electrical damage. Lightning is fatal and it is capable of causing sudden death. Lightning is generated in storm systems that are electrically charged. The hydrologic cycle aggregates moisture in the atmosphere. The collisions amongst droplets and moisture cause the electrons to separate. These electrons accumulate at the lower portion of cloud and it eventually becomes a negatively charged electron. The moisture at higher altitudes begins to freeze. The cloud attains a unique charge of separation. The strong attraction of electrons causes the earth’s surface to attain a positive charge. A conductive path is created as a result of separation of the air that was around the cloud. Thunder is an extremely loud noise that can severely damage your ears.

Answer 3

I love it as well, very exciting. Even better when there's a strong wind blowing, seems to add to the excitement and trepidation.

We were in Africa last year in an incredible thunderstorm with torrential rain. I went outside and stood under a canopy, the compound get hit by lightning and it blew the windows out. For about 15 seconds everyone was deafened, blinded and dazed. It was great fun (even if it was a little scary).

Answer 4

no....It use to always near our house when I was little, tree
would split...dangerous...
Once my Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table,
with the window open......Here came a ball of lightning, right through the window and went into our electrical outlet, when it
turned blow up the electric box, etc in the basement.....
Goodness, how frightening.
Later in life, two friends were walking between the trees,
to be with a large crowd in a large building.....Bingo...
hit them....they passed away.
Then I got married. the house next to ours, the lightning
hit his side of the house, where his air conditioning unit was.
no fire or anything, just the lightning and Boom.....
So needless to say, yes it does scare me. Sometimes, I go
into the car. Heard it is the safest.
My children love it......100 per cent...they will sit in the porch,
and just watch it, when it comes to close I make them come in. Sometimes, take them in the car.......They were like Wow, etc. etc. When they were growing up, I told them it
was nothing to fool around with, however would not let them
know who scared I was. So they treat it with authority and love watching nature.
You can catch me under the covers, with the blinds and drapes down.

Answer 5

Lightning is a discharge of static electricity. When sufficient negative and positive charges gather, and when the electric field becomes sufficiently strong, an electrical discharge (the bolt of lightning) occurs within clouds or between clouds and the ground. Also lightning cames from ground to clouds, this is caled positive lightning. Additional return strokes are punctuated by intermediate dart leader strokes akin to, but weaker than, the first one. This rapid re-strike effect was probably known as the "strobe light" effect is often quite noticeable. Each re-strike is separated by a much larger amount of time, typically 30 milliseconds or so. Most lightning strikes consist of several (up to 12) separate discharges of different intensities, causing the "flickering" effect commonly seen during a lightning discharge. Each successive stroke re-uses the heated path taken by the previous stroke. The electrical discharge rapidly superheats the leader channel, causing the air to expand rapidly and produce a shock wave heard as thunder.
An average bolt of negative lightning carries a current of 30-to-50 kiloamperes (enough to light a 100 watt light bulb for 2 months). An average bolt of positive lightning carries a current of up to 300 kiloamperes (about ten times as much current as a bolt of negative lightning), transfers a charge of up to 300 coulombs, has a potential difference up to 1 gigavolt (a billion volts), and lasts for hundreds of milliseconds, with a discharge energy of up to 3x1011joule. That's enough to power that same 100-watt light bulb for 100 years.

Thunder is a sonic shock wave caused by the rapid heating and expansion of the air surrounding and within a bolt of lightning. The bolt changes the air into plasma and it instantly explodes, causing the sound known as a thunder clap.
This phenomenon occurs at the same time as a lightning flash, but a thunder clap is usually heard after lightning is seen because light travels faster (186,000 miles / 299,338 kilometers per second) than sound (around 700 miles / 1,126 kilometers per hour, varying depending on temperature, humidity and air pressure).
1.A bolt of lightning can reach temperatures approaching 28,000 degrees Celsius (50,000 degrees Fahrenheit) in a split second. 2.Trees are frequent conductors of lightning to the ground. So be aware of trees on a thunder storm. 3.The odds of an average person living in the USA being killed by lightning is approximately 1:35,000. 4.The saying "lightning never strikes twice in the same place" is false. The Empire State Building is struck by lightning on average 100 times each year, and was once struck 15 times in 15 minutes. Dosnt have the reference to prove it but thats the work.

Answer 6

Why yes i do both visually stunning and louder than some are able to bear thunder and lightning are natures kick in the pants.

way better than hitler that dude was lame

Answer 7

i like thunder a little, but not lightning. it is dangerous, and even deadly.

Answer 8

i love it alot. That is one of the reason's why i moved to the lightning capital of the world .. FLORIDA

Answer 9

Yep. I love all of Mother Nature's toys.

Answer 10

Yes, especially when it's accompanied by large hail and damaging winds.

Answer 11

SO MUCH. I used to be terrified of it when I was little, but I grew out of it, and when I did... oh, did I ever! Can't get enough of it now, and there's hardly ever any where I live. :(
