What are two Clues that lighting is about to strike?
the two clues that lightning is about to strike is 1. hair is sticking up 2 dark stormy sky
How can you estimate how far away the lightning strike will be?
By listening for the thunder. When you see a prominent lightning strike, start counting "one thousand one, one thousand two", etc. Each of those is about one second. There are five seconds in every mile (sound travels 1/5th of a mile per second). If you count to fifteen, the lightning strike is three miles away. Lightning and thunder occur at the same instant when the lightning strike is very close to you, and the thunder will sound more like a cymbal crash.
Is it possible for lightning to strike daily and at the same time?
It is possible for lightning to strike daily, if you have a storm system strong enough. For the second part of your question, the a single lightning strike that you see is actually made from multiple strikes that occur relatively at the same moment, and therefore make the "branches" to the single lightning strike. If, instead, you're asking if it's possible for two lightning strikes to happen almost exactly 24 hours apart... yes, definitely. However, it would probably just be coincidence; there isn't anything "magical" going on here, other than that there was either one long-lasting or two separate storm systems passing through on consecutive days.
Can lightning strike a plastic wagon parked next to brick wall in between two residential houses 8 feet apart?
Yes it theoretically could, but it is very unlikely considering the amount of metal surrounding it. Because of the imbalance of charge, lightning is more likely to strike objects of metal, hence Benjamin Franklin's story of flying a kite with a key in a thunderstorm, and this also gives the reason why we have lightning rods.
How far way is a bolt of lightning when you have a 2 second delay between seeing it and hearing it?
Light travels at about 343 meters per second in air. With a 2-second delay, the lightning strike would be approximately 686 meters away from you.

What are two main ways a lightning rod protects a building?
A lightning rod protects a building by providing a path for lightning to travel safely to the ground, minimizing the risk of lightning damage. It also helps to disperse the electrical charge of the lightning strike, reducing the likelihood of a fire or structural damage.

Is lightning a closed circuit?
When a lightning strike occurs, it has closed it's circuit, much like a light switch. Once the contacts in the light switch get close enough to cause current to flow, an arc occurs, all the way until actual contact is made. I maintain that the path of a lightning strike is preprogrammed, just before the actual strike occurs. The ground potential and the charge in the skies potential, feel each other and build up the power/potential to reach each other on the established sensed path. An actual strike occurs by part of the strike rising from the ground and the other part of the strike coming out of the sky, the meeting of the two culminating in the clap/boom noise heard when they meet. The lightning is a closed circuit as soon as the potential meeting of both ground and sky charges are sensed and before the actual strike appears in the sky.

When was How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All created?
How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All was created in 1969.
Is it possible for somebody to be in two places at once?
No, it is not possible for someone to be in two places at the same time.
How can you be at two places at once?
Actually, you CAN be in two places at once. Four places, really. The "Four Corners" in mid-western United States consisting of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. you could literally be on your hands and knees and be in all of those states at one time!
What happens when you have two places to be at once?
You have to decide which place to go.

Electrical discharge between two clouds or between a cloud and the Earth's surface?
When an electrical discharge occurs between two clouds or between a cloud and the Earth's surface, it is known as lightning. Lightning is caused by the buildup of electric charge within clouds or between clouds and the ground. This buildup of charge leads to a discharge of electricity in the form of a lightning strike.
Why do thunder and lightning bolt occur at the same instant?
Thunder and lightning occur simultaneously because they are both produced by the same atmospheric phenomenon: a lightning strike. When lightning flashes, it superheats the air around it causing it to rapidly expand and create a shock wave that we hear as thunder, which is why we perceive the two events as happening at the same time.
