Weather
Ask anyone who's been through an extreme weather event and they
will tell you that the tornado, hurricane, flash flood, blizzard or
avalanche they experienced was indeed the worst kind of weather to
live through.
But perhaps no one can testify to the shocking power of sudden
severe weather as well as those who have had a bolt of white-hot
lightning shoot through them. Lightning can strike with little or no
warning in some parts of the world. Twenty percent of lightning
victims are struck dead immediately.
Because lightning bolts strike Earth approximately 100 times a
second, it stands to reason that lightning kills more people annually
than hurricanes or tornadoes, according to a number of experts.
1. What percentage of those struck by
lightning, live to tell about it?
_________________________________
2. How often does lightning strike the

Earth in a minute?

3. What form of severe weather do

experts feel leads to the most deaths
annually?
