how u take know? Thunder Don fire u b4?

As a physicists, let me educate you. The speed of light is 3×10^8m/s while that of sound is 340m/s.

Both lightning and thunder (the sound you hear) occurs at same time, but due to the difference in speed, you see the light first. It's called lightning and not thunder.

The voltage in lightning is in hundreds of thousands which is why it dries up whatever on its path. I expected that young man to turn black.

Thunder Fire you doesn't work in Nigeria because we are not saying the right thing. Just tell someone "Lightning fire you" and see how fast it will work.

Based on what we know, it seems most likely that when lightening strike victims die, it is a result of cardiopulmonary arrest caused by disruption of the autonomic nervous system. According to this theory, the sudden shift in electric polarity within the central nervous system deranges the ability of the sympathetic nervous system to regulate breathing and the circulation of blood, causing cardiopulmonary arrest. The heart may restart on it's own, because it has the ability to do that (called automaticity) but the lungs do not display automaticity, so, unless a trained rescuer intervenes, oxygen levels decline until the heart can no longer continue to pump blood, resulting in death.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING A THUNDER-STORM

Monitor Forecasts and weather conditions and know whether thunderstorms are likely in the area.

Be alert for natural signs of an approaching storm.

Cancel or reschedule outdoor events (to avoid being caught outdoors when a storm hits).

Take action early so you have time to get to a safe place.

Get inside a substantial building or hard-topped metal vehicle before threatening weather arrives.

If you hear thunder, get to the safe place immediately.

Avoid open areas like hilltops, fields, and beaches, and don't be or be near the tallest objects in an area when thunderstorms are occurring.

Don't shelter under tall or isolated trees during thunderstorms.

If in the woods, put as much distance between you and any trees during thunderstorms.[84]

If in a group, spread out so that you increase the chances for survivors who could come to the aid of any victims from a lightning strike.

Take action immediately upon hearing thunder. Anyone close enough to the storm to hear thunder can be struck by lightning.

Avoid electrical appliances, including corded telephones. Cordless and wireless telephones are safe to use during a thunderstorm.

Close and stay away from windows and doors, as glass can become a serious hazard in high wind.

Do not bathe or shower, as plumbing conducts electricity.

If driving, safely exit the roadway, turn on hazard lights, and park. Remain in the vehicle and avoid touching metal.

i don't believe this. lighting goes with electric current and fire. anything it touches or comes upon get burnt.

for all those who said thunder don't kill, heavy thunder can kill from heart problems.
Just like electricity..the victim might not get burnt, the current is sufficient enough to kill.

I attest to that from being almost struck by lightning when I was younger. Me and my friends were running in the street during a thunderstorm that how lightning struck the ground a few feet in front of me. If you see speed wey I take reverse go my house. Now I stay indoors when I hear thunder

Lightning kills, not Thunder. Thunder only produces loud sound.

A lightning strike delivers a whopping 300 kilovolts, according to the NASA Science website. Electrical currents from lightning strikes have a shorter duration than industrial shocks, averaging a few milliseconds per strike. When a human gets exposed to a lightning strike, an external flashover occurs wherein the electrical current passes over the surface of the body. This can result in burns, mostly in the upper and lower body, specifically the head, shoulders and neck. Injury can also occur from the lightning bolt's making the victim fall or throwing him through the air. Immediate death from a lightning strike is usually attributed to cardiac or cardiopulmonary arrest.

Oladipo1166:
A civil servant, Salami Adekunle A.k.a kulasa, aged 47, was on Thursday struck to death by lightning in Oro, Kwara.

The deceased was a staff of the Registry Department of the College of Education (RDCE), Oro, Irepodun Local Government Area of Kwara state.

It was gathered that the deceased was leaving the institution’s examination office for the Registry Department at about 9:00 a.m. when the incident happened during a downpour.

The institution’s Public Relation Officer, Mr Adesola Adewoye, who confirmed the incident, said that all efforts to rescue the deceased proved abortive.

Adewoye said, “The staff and management swung into action immediately the deceased was struck, but all our efforts to resuscitate him proved abortive.’’

He however, described the deceased as an easy going, loyal and dedicated staff who will stop at nothing to impress his employer.

“Our prayer is for God to give the family, friends and associate the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss”, the official added.

Staff of the institution were seen in group discussing the development.

Some traditional religion worshippers performed some rites on the corpse of the deceased before it was taken away for burial this evening.
I sensed he might have want to av affair with a student and she display herself to him. Jst saying though ���
