It's going to be different for every facility. However, in general one can assume there's almost no chance of anyone breaking in.

I think the appropriate wording for this question: "why do you see lightning before hearing thunder?" The simple answer is that light travels faster than sound.

Lightning is a natural phenomenon that carries a powerful electrical charge, while air is a mixture of gases that make up our atmosphere. In terms of power, lightning is more powerful than air due to its ability to carry high voltage electricity and cause significant damage during a strike.

Who got struck by lightning the most times and still lived?

Roy Sullivan holds the record for being struck by lightning the most times and surviving. He was struck a total of seven times between 1942 and 1977. Despite the odds, he survived each lightning strike.

Is it okay to use electronics during a thunderstorm?

Usually yes, assuming that the circuit your house is powered on doesn't take a direct lightning strike, or the power plant itself isn't hit you will be fine. However you are taking a risk. Surge suppressors WILL NOT save you from a direct strike at all, and only the very good ones will help vs. a "brown-out"(where you lose power slowly which is pretty bad for electronics too). That being said I usually take my chances when a storm is coming in, but I know that if my computer fries I only have myself to blame. You heard the saying don't use an umbrella during a thunderstorm. the reason being that the sky has tremendously charged particles expecting to discharged as soon as the path can be ascertain either to ground or another cloud, BY pointing an umbrella skyward you are inviting a discharge though the umbrella So pointing an antenna skyward will accomplish the same. ZAP.

What will happen in 2008?

No one will know what will happen in 2008, but one thing is for sure some people will get greedier, the politicians the same and will mislead the public and not do their jobs well. The war in Iraq will disipate slowly and it will end like the Vietnam War;the cost of gas will go up as will food and there will be drinking water problems for especially the U.S. They will have to rely on Canada. There will be more attention paidto global warming and the environment in Western countries due to the insistance of 'the people' inespeciallythe U.S.and Canada. I could go on and on, but it sure doesn't take a psychic to schmooze a client to know what's up. The upside to this is the fact there will be better medications for certain illness' (more cures for certain cancers, MS and HIV, a medication in pill form to erase trauma from the brain while letting the patient still retain their memory of family, friends; there will also be micro chips for the brain to help those with devastating depression where drugs are not an option)and people will turn more to a'belief systems' (of their own choice) and start to get out of the 'whatever generation' and start helping each other more. The general workplaces will change dramatically and more people will work from home whileunemployment rises. Society as a whole will put pressure on government in the U.S. and Canada. Both countries will have new leaders when election time comes up. Korea will come up out of nowhere and cause some friction with the U.S. and a warning to Canada. The citizens of New Orleans will win their fight to stay on their land and land developers will lose the cause of trying to get all that land to build a mid-sized town with wealthy occupants. The deals will fall through due to media coverage. Over 60% of New Orleans residents (mostly black) will either stay or come back to their roots while the other 40% will stay where they are relocated at present. The days of the 'weak shall inherit the earth' is just around the corner and the poor are fighting back and the middle class are starting to give them some support because they are also feeling the pinch of being over-taxed and their tax dollars going to waste. If we want change we can make the change! Example: Erin Brockovich who was not highly educated and a single mom with small children fought her way into working for a lawyer's office and won a large case worth millions regarding impure water causing many residences in that area to have cancer (some had it, others died from it.) It doesn't matter if you aren't well educated or you think your voice won't be heard .... numbers of people in a peaceful. but terse manner with the help of the media can get many things rectified if they so choose. For those that are too weak, too ill to speak for themselves it's up to the rest of us to dig in, bring it to the worlds attention and start making changes. That's why 2008 should be a great year! ANYTHING WORTH WHILE IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR!

What is the problem when a 1995 For Escort has high pressure on the low port of the air conditioner?

several things are a possibilty. First, is the AC compressor actually coming on? If it isn't, then your "high" pressure is simply the AC not coming on to bring the low-side pressure down. Is the compressor engaging? If so, what do you consider "high?" Is it above about 40 PSI? Is the "high-side" of the system also high? The high side pressure usually runs below about 250PSI, but that depends on atmospheric conditions. If it is, then maybe you have too much refrigerant in the system, the radiator fan may not be coming on, or there may even be an air-flow restriction at your radiator or condensor(like leaves or pine straw blocking the air from crossing the radiator). Is the high-side low? Then if your high side is low and your low side is high, then you may have a weak compressor or the clutch may be slipping. *I added more info in the discussion section of this question, thanks for the response!

How do you place static aircraft in fs9 scenery?

If you have a true static model (ie, a "building" that looks like an aircraft), you can add it using rwy12 or any other scenery editor.

If you want to use an AI aircraft model, you can make it almost static by giving it a weekly flightplan. Use AI Flight Creator and Traffic Tools, and add an aircraft that flies one circuit on Sunday at midnight. You can also use AFCAD to edit the parking spaces at the airport, if you want a particular aircraft to always show up in a particular spot.

How does lightning effect the plants around the area in which it has hit?

it can burn the plants and it can also give off harmful chemicals to the plant. It can also burn and die if it does not have special care to it's self. Wow... Lightning turns nitrogen into a usable form for human consumption through plants. Lightning converts the nitrogen in the air from a gaseous form to a usable form for plants. This process is called "fixation". It does not burn plants or cause harmful chemical reactions of any kind.

Just about.

It strikes when the electric potential has built up high enough to ionize the air. That can happen anywhere.

How does lightning cause the loud boom heard durig a thunderstorm?

This boom, called thunder, is the result of lightning instantly superheating the air to tens of thousands of degrees. The air expands rapidly as a result, generating a shockwave.
