Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge during an electrical storm between electrically charged regions of a cloud (called intra-cloud lightning or IC), between that cloud and another cloud (CC lightning), or between a cloud and the ground (CG lightning). The charged regions in the atmosphere temporarily equalize themselves through this discharge referred to as a strike if it hits an object on the ground. Although lightning is always accompanied by the sound of thunder, distant lightning may be seen but be too far away for the thunder to be heard. A lightning strike forms a visible plasma.
On Earth, the lightning frequency is approximately 40–50 times a second or nearly 1.4 billion flashes per year and the average duration is 0.2 seconds made up from a number of much shorter flashes (strokes) of around 30 microseconds.
Many factors affect the frequency, distribution, strength and physical properties of a "typical" lightning flash in a particular region of the world. These factors include ground elevation, latitude, prevailing wind currents, relative humidity, proximity to warm and cold bodies of water, etc. To a certain degree, the ratio between IC, CC and CG lightning may also vary by season in middle latitudes. Because human beings are terrestrial and most of their possessions are on the Earth, where lightning can damage or destroy them, CG lightning is the most studied and best understood of the three types, even though IC and CC are more common types of lightning. Lightning's relative unpredictability limits a complete explanation of how or why it occurs, even after hundreds of years of scientific investigation.

Plot: In the middle of a raging thunderstorm, a traveling circus accidentally leaves behind some very precious cargo--a baby zebra. The gangly little foal is rescued by horse farmer Nolan Walsh, who takes him home to his young daughter Channing. Once a champion thoroughbred trainer, Walsh has given up horse training for a quiet life with Channing on their modest Kentucky farm. The little zebra, or "Stripes," as Channing calls him, is soon introduced to the farm's misfit troupe of barnyard residents, led by a cranky Shetland Pony named Tucker and Franny, a wise old goat who keeps the family in line. The group is joined by Goose, a deranged big-city pelican who's hiding out in the sticks until the heat dies down in Jersey. The un-aptly named bloodhound Lightening keeps a lazy eye on goings-on at the farm - in between naps. The Walsh farm borders the Turfway Racetrack, where highly skilled thoroughbreds compete for horse racing's top honor, the ultra-prestigious Kentucky Crown. From the first moment Stripes lays eyes on the track, he's hooked--he knows that if he could just get the chance, he could leave all those other horses in the dust. What he doesn't know is--he's not exactly a horse. But with characteristic zeal, he devotes himself to training for the big time, with a little help from Tucker, who has coached a host of champion racehorses in the past.

Plot: Roger, Anita and their canine clan are packing for the big move to Dalmatian Plantation, a home in the country with plenty of room for the 101 pups and far from the clutches of Cruella DeVil. The feistiest pup, Patch, feels lost in a sea of spots and longs to be a one-of-a-kind wonderdog like his TV hero, Thunderbolt. While watching the Thunderbolt Adventure Hour, Patch hears about a chance to appear on the show while it's filming in London. However, the family move will interfere with Patch's opportunity - until he's accidentally left behind in the commotion. Patch heads for the audition to meet his hero. Meanwhile, Thunderbolt's "trusty" sidekick, Lightning, reveals that the producers of the show want to replace Thunderbolt with a younger dog. In order to save his job, Thunderbolt decides he will go into the real world and perform an act of true heroism to prove himself. A veritable reference book to Thunderbolt's many adventures, Patch provides the perfect guide for the TV star in his attempts at real-life heroics. As for Cruella DeVil - she's back and more obsessed with Dalmatians than ever. At first, she's able to calm her frenzy through an affiliation with a spot-fixated artist.

For licensing contact hankschyma@yahoo.com More info and facts: #10 Was caught in 2014 on a Kansas interstate. In slo-mo you can see the distant discharge triggering the closer strike. #9 was bagged under a tornadic supercell near Lincoln Nebraska. What makes this bolt so striking was it's bizarre looping path. #8 Occurred on May 31, 2013 near El Reno Oklahoma. This historic and horrifying day saw the birth of the world's largest tornado at 2.6 miles wide... And the fact that there's a bolt of lightning shooting out of it's massive infant side makes this strike worthy of this list. #7 was summoned over Devils Tower in Wyoming in June of 2013. ...

This electrical occurrence has been a phenomenon from Mother Nature that both terrifies and intrigues us. When electrical imbalances occur in the clouds, lightning is that imbalance getting evened out. Lightning strikes the Earth about 40-50 times per second all over the planet, and there are about 1 billion lightning strikes per year. Despite it being a common occurrence, you don’t hear much about people getting struck by lightning, mainly because it so rare that it is rarely talked about. In fact, you’re more likely to get struck by lightnin...

But the love-struck 12-year-old won't reveal the name of the inspiration behind his self-penned song Lightening. The talented singer-songwriter captures the hearts of the audience and the Judges with his flawless performance, but is his sweetheart listening? Only time will tell, but in the meantime, Simon's convinced the cheeky Northerner could be onto something: "that song with a little bit of work could be really big."

You're in control,pressing pause on my heartbeat,
Someone stole all the air,so I can't speak,
Now I know the chase is on,
I feel as though my time has come.
How many times do I fly through your head space,
Now it's speeding away from a safe place,
Yeah,your skin,the touch,the kiss,
The rush, too much,and here it comes.
When your lips touch mine,
It's the kiss of life,
I know, I know that it's a little bit frightening,
We might as well be playing with lightning.
We touch like,
Like it's our first time,oh oh,
I know that it's a little bit frightening,
We might as well be playing with lightning now...oh oh.
Just you and me and the coats in the back room,
Learning things they don't teach in the classroom,
Now,you're here,I feel the fear,
Now everything is oh,so clear.
I've been addicted to you since the first hit,
Out of control like a surge of electric,
Yeah,your skin,the touch,the kiss,
The rush, too much and here it comes.
When your lips touch mine,
It's the kiss of life,
I know, I know that it's a little bit frightening,
We might as well be playing with lightning.
We touch like,
Like it's our first time,oh oh,
I know that it's a little bit frightening,
