Lightning Fact: An umbrella can increase your chances of being struck by lightning if it makes you the tallest object in the area.

Lightning Fact: Always avoid being the highest object anywhere—or taking shelter near or under the highest object, including tall trees. Avoid being near a lightning rod or standing near metal objects such as a fence or underground pipes.

Cumulonimbus: The name for a tall dark thunderstorm cloud comes from a combination of two Latin words, “cumulus,” meaning “heap,” and “nimbus,” which means “rainstorm.”

Lightning Fact: Most lightning strikes average 2 to 3 miles long and carry a current of 10000 Amps at 100 million Volts.
