Thunderstorms and Lightning

lightning L-Drago because in 2012 they only sell metal fusion online.

The saying "lightning never strikes twice in the same place" is a commonly held belief, but it is not a scientific theory. In reality, lightning can and does strike the same location multiple times, especially tall structures like skyscrapers and towers.

Lightning and thunder are phenomena that happen simultaneously but are observed at different times due to the difference in speed of light and sound. Light travels faster than sound, so we see the lightning flash first and then hear the thunder that follows it later.

Unless someone is a comic book character people don't have lighting flash from their eyes.

Not a scientist, but I do believe that as the air is supercharged, its chemical make up is changed by the electricty. It also makes a funny sizzling noise as it becomes ozone... If you hear this noise, get out of there and double quick, as it means a strike is imminent. Believe me, from experience, you don't want to be too close to these things!!

Yes, Lightning McQueen is faster than Francesco Bernoulli in the movie "Cars 2." Lightning McQueen is a well-known racing car with speed and agility, while Francesco is portrayed as a rival with a big ego.

Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt due to the intense heat. This expansion creates a shock wave that we hear as thunder. So, thunder is typically associated with storms that have lightning because the two phenomena occur simultaneously.

A thunderstorm does not become either. Thunderstorms produce tornadoes. Clusters of thunderstorms can become hurricanes.

In short, if a strong thunderstorm encounters wind shear in the right configuration, meaning wind changes speed and direction with altitude, it can star to rotate. The rotation is focused in an area a few miles wide called a mesocyclone. Sometimes a downdraft at the back of the storm will then wrap around the mesocyclone, causing it to tighten and intensify to forma tornado.

A hurricane most often starts out as an area of low pressure and disorganized showers and storms called a tropical disturbance. If the disturbance moves out over warm ocean water, where the is plentiful warm, moist air then more storms will form within it. The updrafts of the storms cause the pressure in the disturbance to drop, which increases the wind speed and draws in more air to feed the storms. As the wind speed increases the Coriolis effect, a consequence of Earth's rotation, will cause the system to start rotating. When the system develops a definite rotation then it is classified as a tropical depression. When sustained winds reach 39 miles per hour it is a tropical storm. When winds reach 74 mph the storm is classified as a hurricane.

Dr. Thunder is a private label soft drink produced for Walmart stores. It is a generic version of the popular brand Dr. Pepper, but the manufacturer of Dr. Thunder is not publicly disclosed.

Hail most often occurs ahead of the tornado but it also frequently found in the hook of the storm, which wraps around behind and to the left of the tornado (with respect to its movement) in the northern hemisphere and to the right of it in the southern hemisphere.

i am really scared of it can you help me please!!!!!

Sudden, loud noises are always startling to people and animals. Repeated thunderclaps tend to make almost everyone edgy, even though thunder is harmless.

Humans do have good reason to be afraid of lightning. In the US, lightning kills about 40 people each year and injures 360. The chances of being struck by lightning are very small, but it is still wise to avoid situations which would put you at greater risk, as the consequences can be very unpleasant.

Thunderstorms:

Avoid going outside if possible. Do not enter any bodies of water. Do not take shelter under a tree. Avoid taking baths and showers or using appliances that are plugged in. Stay away from windows of strong winds or hail are possible.

Hurricanes:

Evacuate ahead of the storm if you are told to do so. Board up windows in advance if possible. If you are riding out the storm stock up on water, batteries, and food that does not need to be cooked or refrigerated. Remain inside at all times and stay away from windows. Move to an upper floor if any flooding occurs.

Tornadoes:

Take cover in an underground shelter if possible. If it is not possible, seek shelter in an interior room or closet on the lowest floor. Stay away from windows. If you are in a trailer home leave it for sturdier shelter. Do not attempt to outrun the storm.

When a high-pressure system meets a low-pressure system, it typically leads to the formation of weather fronts. This can result in the development of various weather conditions such as rain, thunderstorms, and changes in temperature. The movement of air from high to low pressure areas creates wind patterns and determines the overall weather patterns in the region.

Yes, a lightning strike can potentially cause damage to an iPhone while it's charging if the lightning strike causes a power surge through the electrical outlet or charging cable. It's best to unplug electronic devices during a thunderstorm to prevent damage.

Thunderstorms in Michigan typically occur during the spring and summer months, with peak season being from May through August. This is when conditions are most favorable for the development of thunderstorms due to the warm, moist air interacting with frontal boundaries.

Yes, cold fronts can bring violent thunderstorms because they create a boundary between warm, moist air and cooler, drier air. The lifting of warm air by the advancing cold front can lead to the rapid development of severe thunderstorms with strong winds, hail, and even tornadoes.

Lightning strikes by trying to earth it's current. It's made by positive and negative ions. An example would be a battery. Let's say you were changing the battery for a toy car and you electrocute yourself. It happens by traveling down your body to the ground. Lightning acts the same but it's a higher voltage

I believe around 370 ish.....I looked at a couple other things and stumbled on this while looking, so just thought I'd answer for you. They say about 7o deaths and 300 injuries due to an actual individual being struck. Here is a cut out and a link.. During every minute of every day, roughly 1,800 thunderstorms are creating lightning somewhere on Earth. Though the chances of being struck by lightning are estimated at 1 in 700,000, these huge electrical sparks are one of the leading causes of weather-related deaths in the USA each year with an average of 73 people killed; about 300 people usually are injured by lightning. http://www.usatoday.com/weather/resources/basics/wlightning.htm I believe around 370 ish.....I looked at a couple other things and stumbled on this while looking, so just thought I'd answer for you.

The width of a bolt of lightning can vary, but on average it is about 1-2 inches wide. Lightning bolts can be as thin as a pencil or as wide as a few inches, depending on the strength and size of the bolt.

The energy that drives a thunderstorm comes from the latent heat stored in water vapor. This energy is released when the water vapor condenses. If there is not enough moisture then there is not enough energy.

The pulmonary circulation is referred to as a low pressure and low resistance system. This is because it sends deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation and then returns oxygenated blood back to the heart at a lower pressure compared to the systemic circulation.

Campers are at risk during thunderstorms due to the possibility of lightning strikes, high winds, and heavy rain. It is important for campers to seek shelter in a sturdy building or vehicle during a thunderstorm to stay safe. Avoid tall trees, open fields, and bodies of water during a storm to reduce the risk of being struck by lightning.

A hurricane is much larger than a thunderstorm, typically hundreds of miles wide while a thunderstorm is usually only a few miles to a few tens of miles wide. Hurricanes also last for several days or even weeks while most thunderstorms last less than half an hour, though supercell thunderstorms may persist for several hours. Also, hurricanes, by definition, mus produce sustained winds of at least 74 mph, with some producing winds of up to 200 mph. By contrast only the most severe thunderstorms produce such winds and not for long.

In terms of formation, hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water in or near the tropics, while thunderstorms can develop over land and water and are common in both tropical and temperate climates. Finally, hurricanes are often noted for having a calm, relatively clear structure at their centers called an eye. This feature does not appear in thunderstorms.

Typically an insurance company will not drop you if your claims are due to an act of nature.

However, if the company has experienced enough claims in your area to diminish it's capacity to pay future claims then there are regulatory requirements that the company reduce their exposure. Over exposure could result in a non renewal of yours and other home insurance policies in your area.
