Lighting tidbit
Posted by Linny on May 18, 2015, 7:43 pm
From Bill Bryson's book, 'A Short History of Nearly Everything': A bolt of lightning travels at 270,000 miles an hour and can heat the air around it to a decidedly crisp 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit, several times hotter than the surface of the sun. Every second about 100 lightning bolts hit the ground! | ------------------------
