Thunderstorms and Lightning

It is not so much the height as it is the number of times the strong up draft carries the slowly building wet iceballs back up to the freezing zone before they finally fall out of the cloud. The more trips up, the bigger the hail.

Shakespeare uses thunder or storms in a number of plays as an indication that the political realm (which according to contemporary theory was divinely ordained) had gone amiss. Most notable of these are Macbeth, Julius Caesar and King Lear.

Light travels faster through anything than sound does.
Light also travels through a few things that sound can't.

Light is around 150,000 times as fast.

mouse aim for arcade and realistic but joystick for simulator.

the torque sequence is as fallows, looking at the motor from the front of the car i'll call the side toward the front of the car the front and the back towards the windshield the back and will go from left to right, #1 second back in front, #2 second one back in the back, #3 third bolt back in the back, #4 third one back in front, #5 first one in front, #6 first one in back, #7 forth one in the back, #8 forth one in front, so the back bolts are from left to right 6,2,3,7, front 5,1,4,8. start by tightening the bolts in sequence to 33 pounds then to 90 pound in sequence, butch

In most cases it is lightning. Any cloud-to-ground lighting bolt can kill while rain is usually harmless. Rain, too, can be dangerous if it leads to flooding.

Uruguay gets thunderstorms and occasional tornadoes, but not hurricanes.

The Lightning Strike was created on 2008-10-24.

Put your life jacket on, secure crew and gear, and keep a sharp lookout.

In addition to providing a conducting path to ground in case a lightning strike occurs, lightning rods also reduce the number of large lightning strikes by reducing the static charge build-up in the atmosphere around the building. The pointed end of the rod creates an attraction point for the excess charge and siphons it to ground, reducing the charge difference between the cloud and the building.

If you get a chance to deal with a small Tesla coil or small static generator, set up a situation in which sparking is occurring between a broad object (like a sphere) and the coil/generator . Then introduce a grounded thin rod (or some other grounded pointy object). the sparking will stop and there may be some micro-lightning (and soft crackling sound) around the point.

Basically, the pointy grounded rod creates smaller, lower energy lightning to prevent the huge damaging strikes.

Step 1) Learn Proper English

Unless you feel like tempting fate, you should avoid doing several things that can and have resulted in lightning injuries and fatalities:

1) Standing next to a tall tree or metal umbrella table during a storm

2) Standing on a rooftop, especially with grounded antennas or TV dishes nearby

3) Standing at the highest point of a hill during a storm

4) Using a landline, corded telephone during a storm (no fatalities recorded)

5) Grounding a wire clothesline by holding it during a storm

Yes, a Radar Bounded Weak Echo Region (RBWER) is typically associated with an updraft in a thunderstorm. The RBWER represents an area where precipitation is being lifted by the updraft, producing low reflectivity values on radar.

Cold fronts typically have steeper temperature and moisture gradients, leading to more instability and stronger uplift of air, which can result in more intense thunderstorms with factors like severe weather, heavy rainfall, and strong winds. Warm fronts, on the other hand, usually have a more gradual change in temperature and moisture, resulting in less intense thunderstorm activity.

thunderstorms happen all the time all over the place...there are no two that have significantly affected anything

People study lightening because it causes a lot of damage when it touches the ground or hits a person. Lightening is continually studied because there is not much know about where it will strike and why.

Lightning is caused by the buildup of electric charges in a storm cloud. When the charge difference becomes strong enough, it discharges as a lightning bolt. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion and heating of air surrounding the lightning bolt.

When air of different temperature collides, the result is usually rainfall and sometimes a storm. A warm front is created when warm air meets cold air, and the warm air starts to rise over the cold air. As warm air rises, it begins to cool, and condensation occurs, resulting in rain clouds. When cold air moves towards warm air, the cold air moves underneath the warm, forcing it to rise very quickly (more quickly than a warm air front will rise). Because of the rapid rise of the warm air, it means it cools down more quickly, and the resultant rain clouds may turn into a storm.

Cumulonimbus clouds are the type of clouds that often produce thunderstorms. These clouds are tall, dense, and can extend high into the atmosphere, creating a vertical development that results in the formation of thunder and lightning.

Hail is measured by its diameter, typically in millimeters. The larger the diameter of the hailstones, the more severe the storm that produced them. Hail size is categorized on a scale ranging from pea-sized (less than 1/4 inch) to grapefruit-sized (4 inches or more).
