Chris asked:


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.

that trevor asked:


why is a bolt of lighting hot? and filled with power?
