Freaking Bowling Alley!

That's what it sounds like in here right now...

Lightning is hitting the ground so frequently it sounds like a 48 lane house on a Saturday night.

It's kind of funny. Glad I'm not driving through this crap.

Lightnigng is the catalyst that causes the noise.. but it's not really lightning making the noise

Lightning causes thunder because a strike of lightning is incredibly hot. A typical bolt of lightning can immediately heat the air to between 15,000 to 60,000 degrees Fahrenheit. A lightning strike can heat the air in a fraction of a second. When air is heated that quickly, it expands violently and then contracts, like an explosion that happens in the blink of an eye. It's that explosion of air that creates sound waves, which we hear and call thunder.

Cause and affect...

Lightning causes thunder.

Yes I'm on a computer. (like it's a big deal)

Not that it matters, lightning has bounced between bunkers while I was posting in the past. (not tonight)

Just think if people actually paid attention to instruction--what to avoid during a thunderstorm!

I guess everyone would huddle in the hallways away from windows. Stop talking on the telephone. (That's actually good advice if your phones are corded!) Crap your pants since you can't use the facilities... The list goes on and on. Common sense applies obviously. Hurricane parties are dumb!

EDIT: I'm actually kicking ass in Tiger Woods 2003. I still can't believe I spent $500 on a video card just so I could play it anomaly-free! :Q

Why Thanks, Professor!
