Thunderstorms and Lightning

One way to overcome fears is to face them. Sitting by a window during a storm and watching the lightning and listening to the thunder might help you get used to it and realize that it isn't going to hurt you... that you are safe where you are. Depending on how afraid you are though, that might be hard to do.

If your anxiety is extreme, and prevents you from doing things that you want to do, you might want to try talking to a counselor about it.

Yes, typhoons are often associated with heavy rainfall due to the intense atmospheric conditions that they bring. The combination of strong winds and moisture in the air can result in torrential downpours, leading to flooding and other water-related hazards.

There isn't a common day that people get struck by lightning as it can happen anytime. However, lightning tends to be more frequent during summer months when thunderstorms are more prevalent. It's important to take precautions during thunderstorms to reduce the risk of being struck by lightning.

climb to the top of the highest tree and hold up a fork

seriously you want to go inside. avoid taking a bath or washing dishes. Avoid direct contact with plugged in electrical appliances such as computers and land line phones. If you are stuck out side find the lowest possible place away from any trees.

The metal car acts as a Faraday cage, conducting the electrical charge around the passengers inside the vehicle instead of through them. This offers protection from being electrocuted in a lightning storm while in a car.

Electricity (which includes lightning, of course) always takes the path of least resistance, or the shortest path. Since trees are taller, they are closer to the source of the lighting (the sky), and so lighting will almost always strike a tree. The lightning travels through the tree, causing the sap and water to expand very rapidly because it heats up very quickly. The tree isn't able to hold itself together, and the tree will probably explode. This could be very dangerous.

(OR)

A tree is the highest point in the field, and so is most likely to be struck by lightning. If you're under the tree when it's hit by lightning, you stand a very good chance of

(a) being hit by the lightning along with the tree,

(b) getting electrocuted by the electric field set up on the ground around the tree, and

(c) getting hit by a falling branch (or the tree itself!) after the strike.

If you're in a bare field when a thunderstorm starts, the traditional answer is that you're supposed to lie down flat in the field and wait for the thunderstorm to pass. A better answer is to crouch low and GET TO A CAR, FAST! You can't be electrocuted by lighting inside a metal car.

light because when a lightning struck u can see hear the sound after the light

Cyclones are generally more destructive than thunderstorms. Cyclones are intense storms characterized by strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surges that can cause widespread damage and flooding. Thunderstorms, while powerful in their own right, typically do not reach the same level of destruction as cyclones.

Cyclones tend to be more destructive than thunderstorms. Cyclones can bring strong winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges that can cause widespread damage in coastal areas, while thunderstorms typically produce localized severe weather such as hail, strong winds, and lightning.

Cloud-to-ground lightning is one of the most dangerous types of thunder, as it can strike directly and cause significant damage or injury. It poses a threat to both people and property during thunderstorms.

For a long time it was thought by many people that the number of seconds after the lightning strikes is the miles the center of the storm is from you. Although this does show how light travels faster than sound, this system is wrong. The actual method for finding the distance the heart of the storm is from you is by counting after you see lightning; and stop counting after you hear the thunder. Now, for every five seconds after the lightning struck until you hear the thunder, it is one mile away. So if ten seconds go by between lightning and thunder, the center of the storm is two miles away.

Yes, lightning can travel through a tree because trees contain water and nutrients that conduct electricity. When lightning strikes a tree, the electricity can flow through the tree's conductive tissues, such as sap and water, potentially causing damage to the tree.

Any object can get hit by lighting. Here are two general rules, first, the taller the object is (like trees), the greater the chances the object can be hit by lighting (because lighting hits the tallest object in the effected area). Second, the closer the object A is to a taller object (like a tree), the greater the chances the that lighting can indirectly hit the object A. Why? Lighting is electricity and electricity travels in circuits, so when lighting hits the tree, it travels into the ground and spreads into the ground, eventually diluting it. If object A is near it, the electricity can travel into the object. In this case Object A is the chicken. So yes, a chicken can get indirectly hit by lighting.

depending on what you are using it for, a jagged spline, or use a plugin that would create a tree (xfrog) bring up the luminance in the material and apply a area light and attach the lightning object to the area shape tab in the light attribute manager then play with the settings in this tab to see how much light, samples, falloff etc..

Yes, dolphins are known to make high-pitched sounds such as clicks, whistles, and squeaks. These sounds are used for communication, echolocation, and social interactions among dolphins.

No, it is not safe to swim during a mild lightning storm. Water is a good conductor of electricity, and if lightning strikes the water while you are swimming, you could be at risk of being electrocuted. It is best to wait until the storm has passed before resuming any water activities.

Lightning itself is a natural phenomenon caused by the buildup of electrical charges in Earth's atmosphere. While it can be dangerous and cause wildfires or damage to property, it is not classified as a natural disaster on its own. However, when paired with other elements like dry conditions, lightning can contribute to natural disasters like wildfires.

Lightning can strike up to 30 miles from the parent storm cell, though such cases are rare.

First there must be an abundant source of moisture in the lower levels of the atmosphere,Next there has to be some mechanism must lift the air so that the moisture can condense and release latent heat.Last the portion of the atmosphere through which the air continue to cool with increasing altitude for the growing cloud to stay warmer than the surrounding air.

A hierarchical organizational structure would most likely be used, with top-level headings representing key weather patterns that contribute to severe thunderstorms, followed by subheadings under each pattern detailing specific characteristics or causes. This structure helps to clearly organize and present information about the various factors involved in the development of severe thunderstorms.

Yes, it is possible to get struck by lightning while surfing, especially if you are in the water during a thunderstorm. Water is a good conductor of electricity, so it is important to take precautions and seek shelter if lightning is present.

Yes, hard hail can potentially go through an umbrella depending on its size, weight, and impact force. Thicker or more durable umbrellas may offer better protection, but in severe hailstorms, there is still a risk of damage. It is advisable to seek shelter indoors during such extreme weather conditions.

Yes, in fact some places have been hit twice in the same day. On April 3, 1974 the towns of Tanner, Capshaw , and Harvest, Alabama were first hit by an F5 tornado, followed by an F4 (listed by some as F5) tornado barely 30 minutes later. In some places it was impossible to tell which tornado damage what.

During a thunderstorm, it is important to stay indoors, avoid using wired electronic devices, unplug electrical appliances, and stay away from windows and doors. It is also advisable to stay off landline phones and avoid taking baths or showers during the storm.
