Brittle, glassy formations caused by a lightning strike to sandy soil. The lightning heats the soil and fuses the soil particles together surrounding the path of the channel, resulting in a hollow tube-like formation shaped like the section of lightning that formed it (pictured at right). Artif...
Lightningis an electric arc between two terminals, one positive and one negative. The lightning does not fall from the sky, it connects the earth to heaven. When there is a storm in slow motion, we find that each flash is preceded by a tracer, ie an electrical connection that traces the...
Lightning often strikes3 miles outside of a thunderstorm. A"bolt from the blue" can strike 10 to 15 miles awayfrom a thunderstorm. The farthest observed was off Cape Canaveral at the Kennedy Space Center, where lightning traveled 90 miles outside the thunderstorm (NOAA Lightning Trivia) Thunder...
Arizona is a fantastic venue to capture lightning. We get a lot of high-based storms, which means you tend to see more of the strike. Our landscape is beautiful, from deserts and cacti to rolling grasslands and the Grand Canyon. I once met a guy in Tucson who was spending two whole w...
90-Minute violent EF4 tornado in Kansas- Up close and personal with a long-lived significant tornado through Bennington, Solomon and Abilene, Kansas. Chicago Triple Skyscraper Lightning Strike- Lightning strikes all three of Chicago's tallest buildings at the same time - Sears (Willis) Tower, Tr...
In a more recent immersive MR video, TWC meteorologist Mike Betts explains why trees explode when struck by lightning. Betts stands just a few feet away from a virtual lightning strike as it replays in slow motion. Photoreal, real-time computer graphics are what make th...
This effect similar to how when a traffic light turns green, or whatever color, the cars in front start moving, then the cars in back, so the movement appears to spread backward.) So the place on the ground where we see a bolt “strike” is the spot where the leader first makes ...
The two-dimensional (x-y) location and the time of occurrence of each lightning strike were used to identify clusters of strikes in space and time using a single linkage clustering technique, with each cluster representing a discrete thunderstorm cell or multi-cell complex. Each lightning-defined...
Analysis was conducted on the total lightning activity of each thunderstorm process, including the characteristics of total lightning counts and density, followed by the variations in total lightning activity before and after lightning strike trips. Further, our investigation encompassed the spatial and ...
Lightning concentrates countless souls into a giant energy blade and they strike down the god together. Lightning and her reunited allies witness the death of Nova Chrysalia and the birth of a new world free of gods. Caius and Yeul offer to become the shepherds of the dead in Etro's ...
