Kamloops Lightning

http://frankritcey.blogspot.com Did you know that the average lightning strike can reach speeds of 220,000 km/hr and that the temperature can approach 30,000 degrees celsius (that's hot enough to cook a hot dog, a St. Bernard, and just about anything else in its path). An abnormal fear of thunder and lightning is Astraphobia - and I thought that was the fear of small boys with rockets for feet. People who study lightning are called fulminologists.
