How many American houses can one lightning bolt power?
One lightning bolt could power one American household for one month. The problem would be that you have to know exactly where the lightning is going to strike.
How do you get lightning in Virtual Villages 5?
You need 100 energy to get lightening power.
How can you estimate how far away the lightning strike will be?
By listening for the thunder. When you see a prominent lightning strike, start counting "one thousand one, one thousand two", etc. Each of those is about one second. There are five seconds in every mile (sound travels 1/5th of a mile per second). If you count to fifteen, the lightning strike is three miles away. Lightning and thunder occur at the same instant when the lightning strike is very close to you, and the thunder will sound more like a cymbal crash.
Do odds of lightning strike increase after initial strike?
The odds of a lightning strike do not necessarily increase after an initial strike. Each lightning strike is an independent event, and the odds of the next strike are determined by various factors such as weather conditions and geographical location. While lightning can be more likely during certain weather patterns, there is no direct correlation between subsequent strikes based on a previous one.
How do you figure the distance of storms from you?
If it is a thunderstorm, you check how long it takes to hear the thunder after you see a lightning strike. For every five seconds, the lightning strike is about one mile away. The lightning causes the thunder, and the sound travels at a speed of about one mile per five seconds.
Can lightning strike two places at once?
Yes, lightning can strike multiple places at once. It can spread out horizontally over the ground or jump from one object to another, causing multiple points of impact. However, it is rare for lightning to split and strike two distinct locations simultaneously.

What energy is lightning strike?
A lightning strike releases a large amount of thermal and electrical energy.

Additionally, the electrical energy in a lightning strike can be as high as one billion volts.
Should a HV substation be able to handle a direct positive lightning strike with no damage?
In Principe - yes, because surge amplitude is smaller then negative lightning strike surge and it is only one stroke by discharging.
LIGHTNING NEVER STRIKES TWICE IN THE SAME PLACE. IT IS THE MYTH OR A FACT?
Lightning can strike anywhere and it is certain that over geological time ALL places on Earth have been struck more than once. In cases where something on the surface may build up an electrical charge at a point (eg a lightening rod) then the lightning will certainly strike it much more frequently. Also if one films a SINGLE lightning strike at high speed, it is clear that what we see as a single strike is in fact many strikes, one after the other using the same ionised discharge path between the sky and earth. So a single lightning bolt actually strikes the same place more than once.
