Wording of this Handout:


To get an idea of how far away the lightning is, wait till you see a flash of lightning, then count the number of seconds till you hear the thunder, then divide by 3.
For example: Flash! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Rumble! 6 divided by 3 = 2. 2 kilometres away.


Roy Sullivan of Virginia has been hit seven times by lightning. In 1942 he lost a nail from a big toe, in 1969 his eyebrows were burnt off, in 1970 his right shoulder was seared, in 1972 his hair was set on fire, in 1973 it was burnt again, in 1976 his ankle was damaged, and in 1977 his chest and stomach were burned.
