USA Today quotes Peggy LeMone, senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, as saying that a thunderstorm cloud contains approximately 275 million gallons of water. (http://www.usatoday.com/weather/resources/askjack/archives-thunderstorms.htm} NOAA's National Weather Service says, "One inch of rain over one square mile equals 17.4 million gallons of water weighing 143 million pounds (about 72,000 tons), or the weight of a train with 40 boxcars."

Why do dog shiver when they a lightning storm?
Thunder scares dogs for many reasons. Number one, their hearing is so much better than ours which makes the noise ten times louder. Also, the fact that they cannot see it probably makes them scared as well. My oldest dog was absolutely terrified of thunder because a tree had fallen over in our yard during a storm. She thought that every time thunder hit, a tree would fall. Now, after many years, she is not as afraid.
