Lightning outside tends to make a house seem more delicate because there will sometimes be power surges or other anomalies that will make it seem like the house won't hold up in a storm. Lightning makes a person feel less in control of their environment, therefore making it seem like even their house isn't safe.

Is it really true that the lightning strikes first before the thunder or the lightning and thunder strikes together but only the lightning seems to be first because of it's speed of light?
Lightning does indeed strike first, as thunder is the sound created by lightning. According to Wikipedia, lightning heats the air surrounding it by large quantities, which in turn causes the air to expand and create a "Sonic wave" which is similar to a sonic boom.
Is it true that Harold Godwinson was struck in the eye by lightning?
No, it was an arrow. The actual cause of King Harold's death is unknown. However, while being struck in the eye by an arrow seems a very possible cause of his death, he definitely was not struck in the eye with lightning.
Does the planets move around the sun or moves around the sun?
The planets revolve around the sun because of its gravitational pull. This is called a planet's orbit. The question seems a bit mixed up, but the answer seems to be correct. That's not a bad answer, but it's not exactly right. In fact everything revolves around the "centre of mass" of the Solar system, which is located just outside the Sun. I hope this doesn't confuse you.
Where are the intensity of cosmic rays the greatest?
On Earth, the intensity of cosmic rays increases with altitude until a maximum where the atmosphere ends; this reflects the atmosphere's shielding effect. Outside Earth cosmic rays intensity is greatest at their source or origin, which seems to be mostly outside the solar system. Although some uncertainty remains, they are believed to be created by supernovae explosions, and possibly by the relativistic jets of quasars or active galactic nuclei.
What happens when lightning strikes water or the sea. what hapens to the fish and other living creatures of the sea?
Good question. Undoubtedly lightning can kill creatures in the sea, however, it seems unlikely that this is a frequent problem. To understand why, let's look at cows in the field during a lightning storm. It has been discovered that if a tree surrounded by cows is struck by lightning, the cows extremely close to the tree may be killed regardless of how they are pointed, while farther away, only the cows pointed either towards or away from the tree will be killed--but the cows oriented on imaginary concentric circles around the tree will be okay. Why would this be? Well, the lightning's high voltage disperses circularly from the point of the strike, decreasing evenly as it spreads outward. The cows pointing towards or away from the tree get the high voltage on two feet and a lower voltage on the other two, causing a large current right through the heart. If they are concentric with the tree, the current does not flow from front to back, thus causing very little current through the cows' hearts. For fish it is about the same situation. Only some fish pointed to or from the strike and located close to the strike would be killed. The energy dispersal in the water is very rapid, and if a fish is more-or-less pointed concentrically to the strike...no problem. For the survivors...Hey! fried fish for lunch.

What to say to husband who is the bread winner and does nothing in your home?
Needs more to the question. Does she work outside the house? In general, it seems only fair to me that if someone is the sole bread winner, he should come home to a clean house and hot meals. My husband doesn't have to work inside the house. I've been an attorney for 25 years; can certainly make a living. But as long as I DO NOT HAVE to work outside the house, hubby will be pampered.

What is a verb for lightning?
Jolt, zap, fizz, pop, crackle. (those are words I think of to describe your being STRUCK by lightning) Silent, stealthy, lethal (deadly), speedy, I can't really say 'fast as greased lightning, so I think that's all I have. It's harder than it seems....
Where does lighting begin?

Is El Salvador outside the US?
The latest U.S. census seems to indicate that.
Will a mole go into a house?
Yes, a mole will go into a house. I have one in my house right now, it seems to act like a mouse would eating what ever food boxes it can find. It seems to be living in my house and goes to sleep or out during the day. It seems to be most active in the house between 4-7 am and I guess about 11 or midnight. Also, it seems to come out more if the lights are off. So, the answer is Yes, they will go into a house. (BTW, I'm gonna try to catch it and keep it as a pet. Luckily he's not too shy.)
Where in the house is the painting on Counterfeit Island?
