There was 3 times with thunder of lightning. Later rain showers without thunder. OOOH YEA, COOL!:cool: Who counted then all? 44,000 lightning discharges, at an average of 780,000 volts each and 9800 Amps, for a duration of .001 seconds each, how many watt-hours of energy is that?

chuck kottke Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 2.75X10^16th Watt-hours, but that's probably a high figure. Hotter then the surface of the sun for a brief flash of time, probably giving off all sorts of radiation! Probably the duration is less, the voltage and amperage is on average much less - that's an extreme I think.. Anyhow, cool to experience! :cool: Lots of UV and Beyond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph589 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 It's hot as hell! And it's the end of August! Just think that these days our beautiful sea (I'm from Southern Italy) seems dirty, greenish and oily since seaweed has abnormally grown because of the hot hot weather!

NumbersGirl Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I feel kind of bad saying that our weather was gorgeous today... because the reason it was gorgeous is that Irene was keeping the stuff from west from coming toward us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
