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.

Why after the thunderstorm at night there is mushroom in the morning?
1 in 30 people believe that this is due to the fact that North Korea actually has an international monopoly over the marijuana market. However, in order to effectively answer this question we would have to actually ask Kim Jung Il himself. We also believe that the recent death of Michael Jackson affects this but it is hard to put a kiddies finger on it. It may have something to do with a bust drugs deal.
In conclusion, my specialist investigation team and i, have reached the conclusion that we should sample the fresh mushrooms after a severe storm featuring gale force 7 winds as intense research has proven that they are most ripe at this time, leading to a mind blowing "high" and possibly HIV.

How much hail damage needs to happen to siding to replace the entire house?
The extent of damage needed to replace the whole siding of a house depends on the severity of the hail impact. Generally, if the hail has caused significant dents and cracks across a large portion of the siding, replacement may be necessary. It is best to consult with a professional contractor to assess the damage and recommend the appropriate course of action.
Why do you hear thunder before lightning?
Lightning causes the thunder, so it actually has to precede the thunder. If you are close to the lightning, they may seem to occur simultaneously. Since light travels faster than sound, the thunder will always lag behind the lightning.
Light moves at 299 million metres per second. Sound moves at 340 metres per second (at sea level in air). When lightning occurs, the light and the creation of the sound occur at the same time and place. Thunder is due to the rapid expansion of superheated air which the lightning causes.
The flash of light (lightning) arrives first because light waves move at roughly a million times faster than sound waves. By counting the seconds between flash and sound (assuming the storm is not so violent that lightning flashes and thunder claps cannot be paired off), you can determine how close it was to you.
In the English system, each 5 seconds difference is about a mile away. In the metric system, every 3 seconds is about a kilometer. Differences in elevation can make this imprecise.
If the flash and sound are simultaneous, the source of the lightning is very close, so you might want to go inside immediately and if possible, not touch anything connected to the house's electrical, Plumbing, or wired telephone systems. If you are outdoors, stay out from under trees and away from tall objects and metal fences. Keep a low profile, even if it means ducking into a ditch.
Remember that electricity seeks the path of least resistance to ground, and the rain that accompanies the lightning enhances that effect, so stay dry and indoors - and avoid conductive systems as described above. THIS IS TOO LONG
What is direct appropriation stage?
Direct appropriation stage refers to the initial phase of gathering resources directly from the environment for immediate use by a society. This can include activities such as hunting, gathering, or fishing to obtain food and materials for survival. This stage typically represents an early form of economic activity in human societies.
A transient, sometimes violent storm of thunder and lightning, often accompanied by rain and sometimes hail.
Do you need to hear a hissing sound when your block heater is first plugged in?
no, u should not hear anything when block heater is plugged in
Where has the most thunder have been caused?
The region known as the Congo Basin in Central Africa experiences the most thunderstorms per year on average. The warm and humid conditions in this area are conducive to the formation of thunderstorms, leading to frequent lightning and thunder activity.
Who won capture the flag in Lightning Thief?
Hermes cabin won capture the flag in the lighting thief. They were on Athena's team.
Why is it wise to avoid high open locations during a thunderstorm?
High points are more likely to be hit by lighting than low-lying areas. In an open area you are likely going to be the highest point for some distance, which puts you at risk of being struck directly.
TP-12 what should you do if caught in severe storm conditions?
Put on a jacket if it is not on already
Why is the lighting blot in Ares' backpack in the book The Lightning Thief?
Becuase he is the lightning thief
What does western civilization means in Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief?
western civilization means that that is where humans have found the newest place to stay
Why they don't see the lightning and hear the thunder at the same time?
Light travels faster than sound. When lightning occurs, light reaches your eyes almost instantly, while the sound of thunder takes longer to reach your ears. The delay between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder creates the perception that they are not occurring simultaneously.
Most likely the serpentine belt, when you rev the engine does it get louder, once the car runs for a minute does it go away or it may still do it.....If this applies most definitely I would have the serp belt checked or changed...
Where was the last thunderstorm at?
There is no way to say when the last thunderstorm was. At any given time there are hundreds of thunderstorms occurring throughout the world.
What are the two conditions required to format a thunderstorm?
To format a thunderstorm you need both lightening and rain.
What do tornadoes hurricanes cyclones blizzards and thunderstorms have in common?
All are forms of potentially dangerous weather.
If light is faster than electricity then how does an auto darkening welding helmet work?
An auto-darkening helmet contains an electronic shutter module. This module contains fixed/static IR (Infra-Red) and UV (Ultraviolet) filters that require no electricity to operate along with an electrically operated LC (Liquid Crystal) light valve or shutter. The LC valve/shutter darkens/lightens when a voltage is applied that re-orients the crystals that are floating in a liquid which is separated by two sheets of glass. The shutter module also contains photocells (light-dependent resistors) or other photosensor that is wired into an electronic control module. The control module detects the bright light emitted by the welding arc and closes (darkens) the LC valve/shutter. A timer circuit lightens the screen again some time (perhaps 100 milliseconds) after the arc goes out and ambient light levels return to normal.
The Liquid crystal itself is not sensitive to light and does not change tint independent of the control circuit.
Modern auto-darkening welding helmets have adjustments for sensitivity, shade (darkness achieved when arc triggers helmet), and time delay after arc removal before helmet returns to the normal, non-darkened state.
The sensitivity adjustment controls how readily the helmet darkens when exposed to a bright light source. If the sensitivity adjustment is set too low, the helmet may not darken when exposed to the arc, especially if the arc is small. On the other hand, if the sensitivity is set too high, the helmet may stay darkened when exposed to sunlight, bright room lights, arc flashes from other welders some distance away, etc.
Some auto-darkening welding helmets, especially higher priced ones, allow the user to adjust the "shade" value. One popular helmet allows adjustment between shade 9 and 13. Shade 9 is adequate for small, low intensity arcs, while 13 is used for bright, high energy arcs in dark spaces. The helmet user should initially set the helmet for an intermediate value and adjust the shade value up or down as required to get the best view of the work while welding and above-all to avoid excessive brightness that dazzles or irritates the eyes.
