LIGHTNING AND LIGHTNING PROTECTION
2004Lightning is the visible discharge of static electricity within a cloud, betweenclouds, or between the earth and a cloud. It is one of natures most destructive forces.Lightning is the largest single cause of fire in suburban and rural areas, and it killsmore people than tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods combined.

Lightning and lightning protection on distribution systems
Electrical Engineering, 1940THE CONCEPTIONS of lightning and of lightning discharge currents through arresters have been altered and enlarged by recent studies. Until not long ago the most complete information available on the magnitude and wave shape of lightning surges on electric systems has been that obtained by the cathode-ray oscillograph investigations of lightning ...

Lightning strikes may cause a constellation of injuries. Blunt head trauma, neurologic injury, and cardiac injury are common in these patients. In contrast to high-voltage electrocutions, blunt trauma after a lightning strike is common. Thorough evaluation of all organ systems is crucial.

Abstract Lightning is one of nature’s powerful traumatic forces. Cloud-to-ground lightning flashes have peak currents of 20,000 to 40,000 amps at hundreds of millions of volts and can reach temperatures as high as 60,0000F. Researchers in the early twentyfirst century have provided evidence that lightning is associated with the intense ...
