Oldheds...remmeber when your mom or granma told you to move your ass away from windows during a lightning storm???

Yes, lightning can strike through a window, but it's very unlikely. Lightning is more likely to shatter or explode a window than to travel directly through it. However, there are a few ways lightning can enter a home through a window:

• Lightning strike on the roof
  If lightning strikes the roof of a house, it can travel through the building's most conductive path, which could shatter a nearby window.
• Metal window frames
  The sudden heating of a metal window frame can cause it to expand enough to crack the window.
• Ball lightning
  Ball lightning can penetrate window glass, sometimes destroying it but usually leaving it intact.
• Cracks in older homes
  In rare cases, lightning can enter through cracks in the sides of older windows.
  

During a thunderstorm, it's best to stay away from windows and anything that conducts electricity, such as electrical appliances, wires, TV cables, computers, and plumbing.


she was right! dammit!

My mom still does this. Talking on the phone and I said the dog is barking cause of thunder. Oh it's thunder I will let you go. Like the Lightening is good to travel through my phone and hit her 4 states away.

Am the only one that comes into the OP's thread lately and find themselves distracted? I read about five words then spent no less than 50 seconds looking at his SIGG.

My Mother In Law will get off the phone with the quickness during a thunderstorm!

Ball lightning is a very phenomenon. If you see it, you should appreciate the fact you saw something most people will never see.

My cousin and a neighbor saw it once back in the 90s. He said it looked like the lightning was rolling in midair for a few blocks in the street in front their houses.

Bro I have been stalking following her on IG for a minute. Albeit, at this moment in time her mesmerizing ass got me at loss of memory. When I see her again I'll tag her in this thread. Oh and I am pretty sure there's even a thread around these parts with me lusting recklessly for her. In the meantime off the top of my head there are three common types of lightening. There is ground to air, air to ground and air to air lightening. A bolt of lightening to Earth, has an impact of about 1490lbs per square foot of force. Easily creating plasma for a short time depending where that bolt strikes. Unlike the light which moves at 186,200 miles per second. The thunderous bolt travels at 270,000 MPH.
