Thunder
Lightning strikes men about four times more often than it strikes
women. Most men are under the age of 39. Men account for 84% of
lightning-related fatalities and 82% of injuries, according to a study
titled "Demographics of US Lightning Casualties and Damages from 1959
- 1994," by Ronald L. Holle and Ra?l E. L?pez of the National Severe
Storms Laboratory and E. Brian Curran of the National Weather Service.
In the United States alone there were 3,239 deaths and 9,818 injuries
from lightning strikes between 1959 and 1994, according to The
National Weather Service publication Storm Data.
Lightning travels less than 20 kilometers from the cloud in which it
was hatched. The air within the bolt is heated to many times the
temperature on the surface of the sun (50,000 degrees Fahrenheit, or
c. 28,000 degrees Celsius).
