Why does thundering occur with out lightning?
While lightning produces very high temperatures, the amount of air it heats is fairly small. In most cases a bolt of lightning is a few miles away, too far away to feel the heat. People have felt the heat from lightning, but only when it struck dangerously close.
Why are you scared of lightning and thunder?
i am really scared of it can you help me please!!!!! - - Sudden, loud noises are always startling to people and animals. Repeated thunderclaps tend to make almost everyone edgy, even though thunder is harmless. Humans do have good reason to be afraid of lightning. In the US, lightning kills about 40 people each year and injures 360. The chances of being struck by lightning are very small, but it is still wise to avoid situations which would put you at greater risk, as the consequences can be very unpleasant.
Does Ireland have severe thunderstorms?
Absolutely NEVER. Irish weather is very mild. It may rain a lot, though not nearly as much as people complain it does but the rain is usually not very heavy. A constant drizzle is the most common type of rain. Once in a while you get heavier rain but not a lot. Thunder and lightning virtually never happen whatsoever in Ireland. I have only seen a lightning bolt once in Ireland and it was quite small. I did hear a clap of thunder once during the 2008 extremely heavy downpour (which also knocked out Cable TV for a few days). It was very loud but it was the one loan clap of thunder. Never heard another.

How do you stay safe under thunderstorm?
LIGHTNING KILLS MORE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY THAN TORNADOES, FLOODS OR HURRICANES.THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS GREATEST DURING JULY AND AUGUST.These simple precautions can save lives during a lightning storm.Stay AlertMonitor local weather conditions regularly with a special weather radio or AM/FM radio.Recognize the signs of an oncoming thunder and lightning storm - towering clouds with a "cauliflower" shape, dark skies and distant rumbles of thunder or flashes of lightning. Do not wait for lightning to strike nearby before taking cover.Seek ShelterLook for a large, enclosed building when a thunder or lightning storm threatens. That's the best choice.If you are in a car and it has a hard top, stay inside and keep the windows rolled up.Avoid small sheds and lean-tos or partial shelters, like pavilions.Stay at least a few feet away from open windows, sinks, toilets, tubs, showers, electric boxes and outlets, and appliances. Lightning can flow through these symptoms and "jump" to a person.Do not shower or take a bath during a thunder or lightning stormAvoid using regular telephones, except in an emergency. If lightning hits the telephone lines, it could flow to the phone. Cell or cordless phones, not connected to the building's wiring, are safe to use.(If_you_are_unable_to_reach_a_safe_building_or_car,_knowing_what_to_do_can_save_your_life.)">If you are caught outside: (If you are unable to reach a safe building or car, knowing what to do can save your life.)If your skin tingles or your hair stands on the end, a lightning strike may be about to happen. Crouch down on the balls of your feet with your feet close together. Keep your hands on your knees and lower your head. Get as low as possible without touching your hands or knees to the ground. DO NOT LIE DOWN!If you are swimming, fishing or boating and there are clouds, dark skies and distant rumbles of thunder or flashes of lightning, get to land immediately and seek shelter.If you are in a boat and cannot get to shore, crouch down in the middle of the boat. Go below if possible.If you are on land, find a low spot away from trees, metal fences, pipes, tall or long objects.If you are in the woods, look for an area of shorter trees. Crouch down away from tree trunks.Helping someone who is struck by lightningWhen someone is struck by lightning, get emergency medical help as soon as possible. If more than one person is struck by lightning, treat those who are unconscious first. They are at greatest risk of dying. A person struck by lightning may appear dead, with no pulse or breath. Often the person can be revived with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). There is no danger to anyone helping a person who has been struck by lightning - no electric charge remains. CPR should be attempted immediately. Treat those who are injured but conscious next. Common injuries from being struck by lightning are burns, wounds and fractures.

Does lightning and thunder happen at the same time?
Yes, in fact it is fairly common for landfalling hurricanes to produce tornadoes. Often times on the northeast side of a hurricane (in northern hemisphere) there will be small tornadoes embedded within the rain bands. A perfect example is across South Carolina on Sept 7, 2004. Hurricane Frances hit along the gulf coast and moved up through Georgia. South Carolina got on the northeast side of the hurricane and over 40 tornadoes touched down in the state on that day directly caused by the outter rain bands of Hurricane Frances.
