RE: Taking a Bath during a Storm is Dangerous- Myth or Reality?

in #stemng7 years ago

Nicely written buddy.
I've been thinking; can't the lightning protector protect against all strikes of lightning?
But then, the massive voltage released during a heavy thunderstorm can break through the barrier.

I'm also wondering; can lightning strike a particular place more than once? If this is so; would it be possible to harness these high voltage and use them for something better? (Maybe to generate electricity).

PS: Is it possible to have a lightning strike without thunderstorm and without even rain falling?

Nice piece buddy

Sort:  

Yes, lightning can strike a place more than once. The Empire state building gets struck up to 23 times a year.
A dry thunderstorm can produce lightning "without" rain since the rain evaporates before it hits the ground.
