Thunderstorms and Lightning
Also referred to as a lightning storm, a thunderstorm is a weather form wherein thunder and lightning are present. Thunderstorms, most especially if accompanied by heavy rains and downburst winds, pose hazards to people and the environment.

Is it possible for sheet lighting to strike a person?
Not likely... Sheet lightning is 'cloud-to-cloud' discharges. The fact that the 'flash' is hidden within the cloud makes the whole cloud appear to light up.
What causes a high pitched sound in your ear when you talk?
http://www.hearingcenter.com/Questions/Q_high_pitch.html
An increase in a sound's pitch corresponds to an increase in what other property?
An increase in a sound's pitch corresponds to an increase in its frequency. Pitch is determined by the frequency of sound waves, where higher frequencies produce higher pitch sounds and lower frequencies produce lower pitch sounds.
How do you prevent a right of way being established?
There are many types of "right of way", according to local laws and customs, and "prevention" will similarly vary.
For example, a municipality may take a right-of-way by the process of eminent domain so that a street or utility line can be run through private property (rarely preventable), or one owner may grant another a right-of-way to a neighbor for access (deeded or temporary), or the neighbor may acquire a permanent easement by prescription (i.e., open and continuous trespass beyond the statute of limitations).
The latter might be prevented by occasionally barring all access (thus disrupting the necessary continuity of the trespass), or perhaps by granting (and then revoking) a limited license to pass through (thus disrupting the legal basis of the trespass), either of which "restart the clock".
Local legal counsel can assist you with the particularities of whether the "barring" of access must be physical (fence/gate) or may be by merely posting signs (statutory size, wording, location, spacing interval, etc) or even posting legal notices in the locally circulating newspapers (statutory frequency, wording, etc).
A right of way can be established if it is used in a continuous, open, and actual way, under a claim of right and in an open and notorious way for a "prescriptive period". The prescriptive period varies from state to state but is usually about 20 years.
Why do you see the reaction first and hear it later?
You see the reaction first because light travels much faster than sound. Light travels at about 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 miles per second), while sound travels at approximately 343 meters per second (1,125 feet per second) in air. As a result, when an event occurs—like an explosion or a lightning strike—you perceive the visual cue almost instantaneously, while the sound takes longer to reach you. This difference in speed explains why you often see the flash before you hear the corresponding noise.
Why does one signal light blink faster than the other?
If you are referring to the blinker indicators on the dash board, it is because one the signal light bulbs need to be replaced. The side that blinks faster is the side where the bulb needs to be replaced. Turn the blinker on and walk around the car to see if it is the rear or front bulb that needs replacement.
Can thunderstorms form on cold days?
If a big thunderstorm forms on a snow day, then it would be a blizzard, not a storm because the water drops that the thunderstorm cloud drops will freeze into ice crystal shards and snowflakes, resulting in a snowstorm and/or sleet.
Percy tricked Crusty by flattering him and pretending to ignore his friends. He wondered if a bed would have no waves (I don't get that either) if a big guy like Crusty sat on it and got him to sit down on it. He then did the snap-finger-Ergo thing and tied him to it, then killed him with Riptide. I hope you're not asking because you're in a similar situation.
How do you fix a high pitched squeaking sound from drive or timing belt on 94 Geo Metro?
It's probably the drive belt and they tend to make noise when they are getting stretched. You can either try tightening it, if it is able to be and not have a tensioner assy, or replace the belt.
What precaution should be taken on board a vessel during a lightning storm?
Unplug all electrical equipment
How storms are predicted by RADAR?
RADAR does not predict storms, it detects and tracks them after they form. However meteorologists can use this tracking information to predict where the storms may move to more accurately than they could without this information, allowing better warning times.
What can you do to prevent yourself from being stuck by lightning?
yes,by using a rubber,plastic and etc.
Why does sandy storm occurs and what is storm?
Sandy was a hurricane (the 19th of the season) that formed in the Caribbean, traveled north over the Atlantic off the coast of the US, then veered suddenly west into New York and the vicinity. A hurricane is an extremely powerful cyclonic storm with winds exceeding 75 mph that can be hundreds of miles in diameter. Most hurricanes that have landfall on the US form in the Caribbean.
The frequencies are the same, unless the source
is moving relative to the observer.
