a natural form of electricity
from what i read from the book and saw from the movie, Percy is trying to find the lightning thief but at the same time people think HE stole the lightning bolt.
i think you count the time between a flash of lightning and the thunder and that determines how many miles away it is from you.
Because every time people are outside when it's raining lightning comes down and hits us.
it was a time before people existed...obviously because there were no people in the book...duhhh!!(kind of like THE LAND BEFORE TIME)
i think it is ac. bcs the direction is changed with time. so it is ac
um believe in ur self i think i read the book a long time ago

My people, the Wungutungus, think that lighthing is an abrupt electric discharge from cloud to cloud or from cloud to earth accompanied by the emission of light. Just one point of view though - the Wingitingis beg to differ. in the stone age, it was seen as a angry message from the gods
"The Lightning Thief" was published in 2005, but it takes place basically in the present time period; I don't think it really takes place in the past or future :)
They significantly reduced (and continue to reduce) the number of fires caused by lightning. It is interesting to note that many religious people of the time thought that it was the height of evil to interfere with God's will by installing lightning rods.
Seeing lightning and hearing thunder at the same time indicates the lightning strike is occurring nearby. The speed of light is faster than sound, so if you witness them simultaneously, it suggests the lightning is very close. Take immediate precautions, as this situation poses a significant risk of being struck by lightning.
at any one time there are almost 30 lightning strikes in the world
