Yeah how are them legs?

Also what Tunder and Lighting, I didn't see any only lighting I seen was the 4-5 Garda cars giving a few orders to the local youths outside a tower block in Ballymun is this the 'lighting' ?

All good in the leg department, but we reckon he is a freak of nature. Who the feck gets hit by lightning standing in their own kitchen and survives? There were five other people in the room at the time, so plenty of witnesses, but in fairness! Struck by lightning! You have to laugh.

A car is the most safe place you could be. As when the lighting strikes the car, the rubber tires conduct the electric charge and then it wont get any further. So ya a car is a good option.

Rubber doesn't conduct electricity, it's actually an insulator. So the lightening doesn't have a(n easy) path to ground and so is unlikely to strike a car. I think that if it does hit a car then the charge will just flow around the outside of the car leaving you safe inside.

A lad who works for me was leaning on his Stanley range when lightning struck his flute - it threw him across the room and burnt him from the waist down - his legs were black. We have great gass slaging him about it but he didn't find it that funny.

This has me thinking the lad in question may be Blacklilly, lightning struck his flute, most likely blowing it off in the incident, burnt him from the waist down and has black legs and a lilly where his willy used to be, no wonder poor blacklilly is so afraid of lightning.

Good for you, I've alway's been male.

Blacklilly this is the worst forum on boards to look for inspiration/sympathy or a shoulder to cry on.

By the way where's this thunder and lightning?, I love watching it and taking long photo exposures to capture it's beauty.

I'll swap places with you, actually I read some of your posts and couldn't help notice your on a dating site, want me to come over and keep you company till the thunder and lightning is gone, just a suggestion.:D

Yea a weirdo hanging around outside waving up and putting soiled boxer shorts through the letterbox has a really calming effect on fear of thunder and lightning, I've helped plenty of damsels in distress of lightning out in this way, never got a thank you for it though.

No not like that, you see I leave my shutter open for 30 seconds - 2 minutes and every bolt and track of lightning in that timeframe is captured, quite good pics if your lucky to be in the right place at the right time.

This kind of thing,

And type one word posts almost faster than Bolt can run 100m, that's a great gift you have there.

EDIT:
Sorry but what has reading faster than Busta Rhymes can rap got to do with your post count?, did you mean you can type a word faster than Busta can have a crap?

I managed to get to sleep last night because your replays were boring me to death (not exclusively yours)

I'm no longer on a dating site, (down with that sorta thing) but I'm still single.

The thunder and lightning was in beautiful Meath, seemingly there's more on the way too. Yrs picturrs of lightning are pretty but I'd rather someone else take them.

Glad to be of service blacklilly.

I love lightning, it is one of the most beautiful of natural phenomena. Last year I travelled to South Africa which involved flying over a storm that seemed to span several countries. My eyes were glued to the small porthole for an hour as lightning burst and flared beneath me, momentarily illuminating the savannah when it struck the earth. I arrived at the start of the summer rains so almost every night I was greeted by booming thunder and flashes of lightening in yellow and blue and green and purple. Heaven

lightnings awesome op, how can you not like lightning. its all silvery and quick. theres nothing as awesome in nature except maybe the sun and ive seen that loads of times. a volcano would be good but the closest is in Reykjavik.

I can appreciate it in pictures but it does terrify me. I remember about two years ago bringing my horse for a gallop down the fields and all of a sudden there was thunder and lightning, que me being thrown off and having to try and catch my horse as she went nuts. I was crying by the end of it

Latchy

Doesn't bother me in the least but I know a few people who are terrified of it ...big time .

Topper Harley

I was playing golf a few months ago and while on one of the tee boxes about to hit a shot, there was a massive roar of thunder and after a couple of seconds a huge bolt of lightning hit down off in the distance. Cue my playing partners placing their clubs on the ground and slowly backing away while saying "god luck" with big grins on their faces.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous hitting that shot but I trusted that it was sufficiently far away not to be a danger and come on, what are the odds n being struck by lightning anyway?

Very high.

Actually a quick google and I've found answers to my questions and it's not what I was expecting.

Flash Facts About Lightning

Most people do not realize that they can be struck by lightning even when the center of a thunderstorm is 10 miles (16 kilometers) away and there are blue skies overhead.

Oops. I was probably in more danger than I realised. :eek:

The odds of becoming a lightning victim in the U.S. in any one year is 1 in 700,000. The odds of being struck in your lifetime is 1 in 3,000.

Now I know I was actually in Dublin, but I was expecting it to be something like 1 in 100,000,000. Wrong.

Car tires have a lot of carbon black in them and so do conduct electricity to an extent.

tires would likely blow up and catch fire, probably won't rupture the petrol tank, probably

Lightening is electricity, and it finds the most efficient, direct path to ground.

If you were in a square 3 feet by 3 feet, and we some how directed lightening at the square you would still be safe because the lightening would prefer air over your body.

what was the formula for current for resistors in parallel ?

anyway only about 10,000 Amps in a bolt and as long as you don't get more than 0.01 across your heart you'll probably be ok

I love lightning always open up the curtains to see it Or stand outside in the door way.
