Well it is almost June here in North America and the Thunderstorms are occurring every other day now. Thus the the query into Thunderstorms. The following is from https://southviewdesign.com blog on this subject:
"Thunderstorms can happen in any season but June is usually the most active month. They can form in less than 30 minutes and last for hours. Typically, though, a thunderstorm lasts approximately 30 minutes and, on average, is roughly 15 miles wide.
MORE THUNDERSTORM FACTS
Thunderstorms start with rising warm air and moisture. Convection = thunderstorms.
Know someone who is afraid of thunder and lightning? Astraphobia is the fear of thunder and lightning.
Lightning kills and injures more people each year than hurricanes and tornadoes. It can travel 10-12 miles from the thunderstorm.
You can use thunder/lightning to determine how far away a thunderstorm is from you. Count the seconds between a flash of lightning and when you hear thunder, then divide by 5. The answer is the distance between you and the storm. Use this method to track whether the storm is coming toward you or moving away.
There is no such thing as Heat Lightning. Light travels faster than sound.
You can see the distant flash, but you are too far away for the sound to reach you.
People associate summer heat with distant lightning because the summer months are more active.
You have a better chance of seeing lightning on the horizon in the evenings.
Most thunderstorms have hail but there are times when the hail melts before reaching the ground.
Hail can reach softball size, causing damage to property.
Thunderstorm winds – a downdraft, also known as straight-line winds – can reach over 100 mph. A thunderstorm is severe when it can produce hail 1-inch or larger or wind gusts over 58 mph."
There are several types of events that the Weather Service may put out due to possible server Thunderstorms. These are:
"Thunderstorm Warning:
A Sever Thunderstorm Warning is issued when a severe storm is happening or imminent.
Take shelter immediately!
Check for forecast updates,. as conditions can change rapidly."
The other is the Thunderstorm Watch.
"Thunderstorm Watch
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is issued when severe storms are possible in the near future.
Stay tuned to forecasts updates and monitor sky conditions.
Know where to take shelter."
Here are some other interesting facts about Thunderstorms:
Antimatter positrons occur naturally above thunderstorm clouds.
Lt Col William Rankin is the only person to have parachuted through a thunderstorm cloud. He was kept there by the updraft for 40 minutes.
During a thunderstorm, the reason you are safe in a car is not that of the rubber tires, but rather because of the Faraday Cage effect due to the metal frame of the car. In strong electric fields, rubber tires actually conduct more than they insulate.
NASA flew an F-106B through 1,496 thunderstorms on purpose to improve aviation lightning protection standards. It was hit by lightning 714 times.
The Earth has about 760 thunderstorms every hour.
A typical thunderstorm releases an amount of energy greater than that of the atomic bomb blast at Hiroshima (1945), simply by condensing the water that becomes rain.
The “Storm that saved Washington” was a heavy thunderstorm that occurred less than a day after British troops set fire to several public buildings in the capital, the storm extinguished all the fires and drove the British troops away while badly damaging their ships.
Thunderstorms make lawn grass greener.
Hank Brandli and Air Force meteorologist learned, through spy satellite imagery, that the splashdown site of Apollo XI would be full of lethal thunderstorms. He managed to alert NASA despite the highly classified nature of the information.
An extreme temperature of 87 °C (189 °F) was recorded during a heat burst in Abadan, Iran. A rare atmospheric phenomenon that occurs near the end of a weakening thunderstorm cluster, characterized by a rapid increase in temperature.
Lightning can occur during a volcanic eruption, creating a “Dirty Thunderstorm”
Derechos, fast-moving thunderstorms that can cause hurricane force winds, tornadoes, heavy rains, and flash floods. Up until Hurricane Katrina, the death toll from Derechos and hurricanes in the US was similar.
A supercell is a thunderstorm that is characterized by the presence of a mesocyclone: a deep, persistently rotating updraft.
Hope you enjoyed interesting facts about Thunderstorms!
I have lost a lot of faith with the Medical Community and the Governments over the last several years, but there are a few good things that can raise above the corruption and the pushing of drugs a new approach to heal people. The following is from www.gaia.com and written by Hunter Parsons that does not involve any drug or pushing an ineffective so called vaccine that the drug company is not held accountable in any way but they use sound! The use of sound can regrow bone tissue! Here is the story:
"The future of regenerative medicine could be found within sound healing by regrowing bone cells with sound waves.
The use of sound as a healing modality has an ancient tradition all over the world. The ancient Greeks used sound to cure mental disorders; Australian Aborigines reportedly use the didgeridoo to heal; and Tibetan or Himalayan singing bowls were, and still are, used for spiritual healing ceremonies.
Recently, a study showed an hour-long sound bowl meditation reduced anger, fatigue, anxiety, and ...
Not a fan of a Defense Agency studying Anti-Gravity and other Exotic Tech, but if the commercial world and make this technology cheap that will change our world yet again. The following is about three minute read and from www.gaia.com. The below was written by Hunter Parsons:
"Wormholes, invisibility cloaks, and anti-gravity — it’s not science fiction, it’s just some of the exotic things the U.S. government has been researching.
A massive document dump by the Defense Intelligence Agency shows some of the wild research projects the United States government was, at least, funding through the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program known as AATIP.
And another lesser-known entity called the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Application Program or AAWSAP
The Defense Intelligence Agency has recently released a large number of documents to different news outlets and individuals who have filed Freedom of Information Act requests.
Of particular interest are some 1,600 pages released to Vice News, which ...
As our technology gets better we are discovering more about the history of mankind and pushing the timeline back further and further. The following article is from www.gaia.com and written by Michael Chary that discusses this new find that changes the historical timeline:
"Over the past decade, there have been a number of archeological revelations pushing back the timeline of human evolution and our ancient ancestors’ various diasporas. Initially, these discoveries elicit some resistance as archeologists bemoan the daunting prospect of rewriting the history books, though once enough evidence is presented to established institutions, a new chronology becomes accepted.
But this really only pertains to the era of human development that predates civilization — the epochs of our past in which we were merely hunter-gatherers and nomads roaming the savannahs. Try challenging the consensus timeline of human civilization and it’s likely you’ll be met with derision and rigidity.
Conversely, someone of an alternative...
Not sure if you have heard of a show on YouTube called "The Why Files". If not you should check it out it is interesting and has some humor with it on different subjects. Last weeks was on a different theory how the Universe works and how main stream Science is attempting to shut it down like is always seems to do if it goes aguest some special interest. Today it is akin to what happened to those who questioned the Earth was the Center of the Universe that main stream so called Science all believed during the Renaissance period, They called any theory that the Earth was not the Center of the Universe misinformation. Does this sound familiar today? People laughed and mocked people like Leonardo da Vinci, Nicolaus Copernicus, Georg Purbach as crack-pots, conspiracy theorists, nut-jobs and they were suppressed and even imprisoned for their radical thoughts and observations. Again it sounds like today in so many ways. In any event this is a good one to ponder and see even if a bad idea ...
Seemingly chaotic systems like the weather and the financial markets are governed by the laws of chaos theory.
We all have heard about chaos theory, but if you have not or have forgotten what chaos theory is well here you go from interestingengineering.com:
"Chaos theory deals with dynamic systems, which are highly sensitive to initial conditions, making it almost impossible to track the resulting unpredictable behavior. Chaos theory seeks to find patterns in systems that appear random, such as weather, fluid turbulence, and the stock market.
Since the smallest of changes can lead to vastly different outcomes, the long-term behavior of chaotic systems is difficult to predict despite their inherently deterministic nature.
As Edward Lorenz, who first proposed what became commonly known as the Butterfly Effect, eloquently said, "Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.""
You may have heard the term about chaos theory as a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil,...
I for one have lost trust in Medical Doctors due to COVID and reflection that they seem to push pills for everything and untested so called vaccines that is using a unproven technology because the Government and the Medical Boards of the State told them to. There are a very few exceptions. Thus they do not address the key problem just prescribe more and more pills to keep you alive an sick longer for them and Big Phama to profit from you. Will AI do any better? Well that depends on what was used for the training of AI. If it also pushes pills and vaccines without question then you have the same problems noted above. However, if the AI Training includes all possible forms of treatment and they zero in on the right issues for the true problem then there is possibilities they would be way better than most of the current Medical Doctors today.
The following is from an article from interestingengineering.com and written by Paul Ratner:
"A new study looks at how accurately AI can diagnose patients. We interview the researcher, who weighs in on AI's role ...
