“Short circuit of sorts. The light bulb must have over heated by a sudden rush of energy causing it to burst. Though the other lights just went out because the burst of energy only needed one main exit to exclude its energy. Thus the light bulb bursting. Well that’s what I think”. <--- that is my friends sight on why a light bulb explodes we just wanted to know if it was true or if you could give us knowledge on the subject.

I’m always scared of lighting and thunder storms, I’m just wondering, what are the chances you may get hit by a lighting if you are out side in the middle of the road? (I do not want websites) Thanks.

kram asked:


I can’t find any data on the number of cases of people struck by lighting while swimming in a pool. I have seen lighting hit the ocean before and I have found cases of pools getting hit by lighting, but no numbers on people hit by lighting while swimming. So does everyone in the world get out of the pool while it is a thunderstorm? I know the people at my apartment pool(no lifeguard on duty) don’t every get out of the pool.
