On average, around 12-13 people are killed by lightning strikes in the Philippines per year. The specific numbers for 2010-2014 may vary, but the annual average remains consistent.
A scientist who studies lightning is called an atmospheric physicist or a lightning researcher. They study the properties, mechanisms, and effects of lightning to better understand its behavior and minimize its risks to people and infrastructure.
People have implemented lightning rods to control the forces caused by lightning. These rods are placed on top of buildings and are designed to attract the lightning strike and safely redirect the electrical charge into the ground, reducing the risk of damage or injury from a lightning strike.
"Lightning" is a noun. Sometimes people try to use it as an adjective to mean "fast" (ex, "with lightning speed") but it really should be used as "like lighting" or "lightning-fast" or so on.
Light ning. Some people try to make it 3 syllables (light n ing) but it really is two
The lightning rod (USA), lightning conductor (UK) is a metal rod that is placed on the top of tall buildings. A metal cable or strap connects the conductor to another metal rod sunk deep into the earth. The principle is that should lightning strike the building, it is attracted to the conductor and travels down the cable to be dissipated safely into the earth - so saving the building from lightning damage. Wooden building used to burn down under stikes from lightening. The lighten rod (Ben Franklin) gives the electricity a easy path to the ground instead of a heat-producing path through wood.
It is uncomon, but not unheard of, for people to be injured or even killed by lightning.
An average of 62 people die from lightning in the U.S. each year.

Because every time people are outside when it's raining lightning comes down and hits us.
Lightning is very rare in the Philippines, so about 10 per year!
There are no clear statistics. One estimate is that 24,000 people are killed by lightning strikes around the world each year and about 240,000 are injured. Another estimate is that the annual global death toll is 6,000.

On average, lightning strikes kill about 20-25 people per year in the Philippines. Lightning is a common weather hazard in the region due to its tropical climate and frequent thunderstorms. It is important for individuals in the Philippines to take precautions during thunderstorms to reduce the risk of being struck by lightning.
On average, around 49 people are killed by lightning strikes in the United States each year. Lightning strikes can be fatal due to the high voltage and current they carry, which can cause cardiac arrest or severe injuries to the nervous system. It is important to seek shelter indoors during a thunderstorm to reduce the risk of being struck by lightning.
mostly the ones that don t have the sense to come inside during a storm
