the story of thunder and lightning!

I found this story on line this

morning,, after a night of Rain and thunder an lightning!!! Thunder and Lightning
Thunderstorms often occur at the end of hot, sticky summer days. At this time, warm moist air rises quickly and forms large cumulonimbus clouds. Inside these tall dark clouds, air currents create strong updraughts and water droplets and ice particles rub against each other. As they bang together like this, it causes a build-up of static electricity. Lighter, positive charges gather at the top of the cloud and heavier, negatively-charged pieces of ice and water accumulate at the base. The ground below is also positively charged. Electricity flows between the charges and the difference between them increases. When the differences get big enough, they are neutralised and electricity is released as a flash of lightning.
This can occur in two ways: within the cloud (sheet lightning)
between the cloud and the ground (fork lightning)
Heat...
As the lightning strikes, it heats the air around it. Lightning bolts can heat the air to as much as five times as hot as the surface of the sun – approximately 30,000 °C (54,000 °F). This heat causes the air around to expand explosively, resulting in the loud crash called thunder.
Speed...
Although the two happen together, you always see a flash of lightning before you hear the crash of thunder. Do you know why this happens? It is because light travels faster than sound.

Strikes...

Strikes – lightning always takes the quickest path to the ground and usually strikes tall isolated objects such as trees or tall buildings. This is why it is dangerous to shelter under trees during a storm.
Lightning fact: the Empire State building is struck by lightning approximately 8 times each year!
Forks...

Each fork of lightning is actually two strikes travelling quickly up and down the same path. The first bolt (the "leader stroke") zig-zags downwards and completes the circuit between cloud and ground. This is followed a split second later by a huge surge (the "return stroke") that shoots back up the path just created.
Distance...

How close is it?
You can work out approximately how far away a storm is by counting the number of seconds between seeing a flash of lightning and hearing the thunderclap. Because light travels faster than sound, the sound of the thunder will take about 2 seconds to travel 1 km. Therefore for every 2 seconds you count, the storm is 1 km away. If it is close, the thunder will sound like a loud crack, whereas if it is further away, it will sound more like a low rumble.
Myths...

Thunder lore
Thunder has always been an awe-inspiring fact of nature, although it hasn’t always been as well understood as it is today:


American Indians believed that thunder and lightning was caused by the sacred thunderbird. The thunder resulted from the flapping of its wings and the lightning flashed from its beak.

The Norse god of thunder is known as Thor. He is always drawn in pictures wielding a heavy hammer. This hammer represents the "thunderbolt" that was once thought to fall from the clouds.
Noise...

Make thunder. You can actually make thunder yourselves. To do this, blow up a small paper bag and then pop it. What happens? It makes a loud bang because the air inside has expanded quickly, just as it does when it is heated by lightning.

Now that we've had a look at clouds and some of the weather features they create, we can move on to another form of moisture in the air for the next section. This time it's mist and fog.

Pretty cool story huh??

I have always loved thunder and lightning,,

Used to go outside and walk when it was raining and thundering,,

Pretty cool!!!

Have a grrreat day!!!

HUGS!!!

Thursday afternoon!!

Need I say More???

Someone close to me said

I can't understand How you can be so Positive all the time,,,

I say its cuz I have been through so much

that I have no reason to use up alot of energy

thinking about it all the time,,,

Growing up wasn't easy (big family) and moving away from family and friends

to a totally different country was certainly not easy,,,

Living with and Loving someone that has/had problems with alcohol

wasn't easy,,

but he got it finally (took him a few years)and is happy with his choice!

I had faith(not in a God or anything) that he would figure it out sometime

and I loved him that much

to stay with him and be there when he needed me!

And when i found these signs

They shouted at me!!!

LOOKY HERE!!

Makes ya think HUH!?

Weather turned out nice today,, and we had a nice ride yesterday

A bit chilly but we made it!!

HUGS to all!!!

OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY!

Got up pretty early this morning

Yesterday was about the same but as the day went on,, it

Pretty hard to barbeque chops on the grill but it worked!

Anyway,, the sun is till out and its getting warmer!!!

A trip in to town tonight to weigh in at weight watchers,,,

I think i have lost a couple more pounds,, almost done!!
