What happens if lightning strikes?
It turns into Magnet.
Is it dangerous to swim when there is lightning?
The safest distance from lightning while swimming is in your house. If you hear thunder it is possible taht lightning could strike you. If you are swimming and you hear thunder the best thing to do is to go inside.
Can you get struck by lightning while holding something rubber?
Yes,the insluating effects of rubber are not high enough to protect you from lightning
How do you calculate lightning?
# Watch the sky for a flash of lightning. # Count the number of seconds until you hear thunder. If you have a watch with a second hand or a digital watch that has seconds, begin timing as soon as you see the lightning and stop as soon as you hear the thunder start. If you don't have a watch, do your best to count the seconds accurately. Say "One one thousand, two one thousand etc." in your mind for each second. # Divide the number of seconds by 5 to calculate the distance in miles (or divide by 3 for kilometers). In other words if you counted 18 seconds from when you saw the lightning, the strike was 3.6 miles (6 kilometers) from your location. The delay between when you see lightning and when you hear thunder occurs because sound travels much, much more slowly than light. Sound travels through air at about 1100-1200 feet (330-350 meters) per second (depending on altitude, relative humidity, pressure, etc.), which is a little more than one mile per five seconds (one kilometer per three seconds). In comparison, the speed of light is 983,571,058 feet (299,792,458 meters) per second.#* For example, if lightning strikes a point 1 mile away, you will see the strike approximately .00000536 seconds after the strike while you will hear it approximately 4.72 seconds after the actual strike. If you calculate the difference between these two experiences, a person will hear a strike approximately 4.71999 seconds after the strike actually occurred. Therefore, 5 seconds per mile is a fairly robust approximation.
Are there physical signs you might experience to warn that lightning might be about to strike?
Often you can feel the static building up or hear rock sizzling. RUN!Physical signs that lightning might strike here are opinions and answers from FAQ Farmers:As lightning results from discharge of a static electric charge, prior to a local discharge there is obviously a build up of static charge. I personally experienced the phenomenon of my hair standing on end while out surfing immediately prior to a lightning strike on an adjacent shoreline cliff top.You will also smell a slightly acrid ozone odor due to the ionized air that precedes a strike.You can monitor an AM radio frequency that is not in use. You will frequently hear lightning discharges as loud, fast cracks of static. However, if the static starts building up on your car, etc., you may hear the "zipper," where it sounds like something whining/zipping up. This is a common sound right before a lightning bolt strikes within a very close distance.
Do odds of lightning strike increase after initial strike?
The odds of a lightning strike do not necessarily increase after an initial strike. Each lightning strike is an independent event, and the odds of the next strike are determined by various factors such as weather conditions and geographical location. While lightning can be more likely during certain weather patterns, there is no direct correlation between subsequent strikes based on a previous one.
What strike could damage a computer?
Lot's of "strikes" could damage a computer. An airstrike, striking it with a hammer, angry laborers could destroy it while striking, etc... If you are referring to a test question, it probably means a "lightning strike."
Can a lightning strike mess up an iPhone while it's charging?
If it gets into the power supply that is charging it, yes. The power surge from a lightning bolt can easily damage or even destroy an electronic device such as an iPhone.
How often do people get hit by lightning?
ANSWER 1Well i was watching lately a documentary on Discovery channel, they were talking about strange facts, describing on a reconstruction how some people defeated death amazingly. By coincidence there have been a man living in the US, he was strucked by lightning for four times, each time on different circumstances and now he's still alive luckily but unfortunately he suffers now from some pains increasing exponentially by the number of times a lightening stuck him. He mentioned that it may be related to heredity because his grandfather aunt and a cousin (as i remember) were strucked also by this huge enormous phenomenous of goddess nature.ANSWER 2When it comes to being a human lightning rod Roy C. Sullivan is the iron clad holder of the title. Roy C. Sullivan was a U.S. forest ranger in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia and it seemed that having an electric personality prerequisite for his job. Lightning strike #1 came in 1942 in a fire lookout tower. Lightning strike #2 came in 1969when he was in his truck. Lightning strike #3 came in 1970 in his front yard. Lightning strike #4 came in 1972 in a ranger station. Lightning strike #5 came on August 7, 1973 while he was in his car. Lightning strike #6 came on June 5, 1974 in a campground. Lightning strike #7 came on June 25, 1977 while fishing.

If your car gets struck by lightning will there be any damage?
My car was stuck by lightning while I was driving. The entire electrical harness needed to be replaced and even after that was replaced we still had issues. The lightning struck the antenna and then arced to the trunk. It melted the antenna and part of the trunk lid.
Is turf safe safe during thunderstorms and lightning?
Turf, as in grass? Thunderstorms certainly won't hurt it; and while a lightning strike onto bare turf is possible--say on top of a rise, perhaps, or a hill--it is pretty unlikely, as lightning tends to follow the path of least resistance, which is usually the nearest and tallest tree or other structure.
Can you get electrocuted while in the computer?
Sort of. If there's a nearby lightning strike in the cables (wall socket, modem...)hooked up to the computer, then electricity can travel through the cables and into the person using the computer.
What is the fastest pony on My Little Pony?
It is not entirely clear. Contenders include Rainbow Dash, the Wonderbolts, and Lightning Dust. While Rainbow Dash is the only pony show to have accomplished a sonic rainboom, the Wonderbolts have beaten her in a number of races, and Lighting dust managed to outperform her a few times as well.
How can I be struck by lightning?
hold a lightning rod up to the sky while lightning is striking
Is an amplifier protected by the fuse or breaker if a lightning strike has possibly hit the amplifier's circuit?
The result of a nearby lightning strike are unpredictable. If the strike affected the power line, resulting in a sudden spike of power, a fuse or breaker cannot possibly react quickly enough to save the amplifier. For that kind of protection you would need to install a surge suppression device on the power line. But even if you have a surge suppressor, understand that EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) caused by a nearby lightning strike can cause damage to CMOS transistors even when the device is unplugged. Typically that doesn't happen, but it is possible. While the output transistors tend to be more robust, many of the low power circuits can be affected by lightning. Beyond a surge suppressor on any inputs and power lines, and the manufacturers shielding, there isn't much you can do.
Is it dangerous to be on the phone during a storm?
