    Quotes and sayings containing the term lightning

    It was not thunder or lightning or weather-related.

    – Meteorologist Jordan Dale

    As generation would not be expected to trip off or de-load in response to a lightning strike, this appears to represent an extremely rare and unexpected event, this unexpected loss of generation meant that the frequency fell very quickly and went outside the normal range of 50.5Hz – 49.5Hz.

    – National Grid

    It’s incredible to be a part of something that is lightning in a bottle like that.

    – Zach Ward

    This is a lightning rod issue in the country right now and it is hugely emotional and polarizing. It is still unclear how it will connect with consumers.

    – Allen Adamson

    The IRPT, acting as a legal political force, had served as a lightning rod (for dissent), deflecting radical Islam, its closure and official pressure on its members is likely to push many pious Muslims out of officially registered mosques into underground ones.

    – Alexander Knyazev

    Even though it seems like there is another mass shooting every week, if you are looking at the number of mass shooters versus the total population, it's still a tiny, tiny number which means this is still a very rare event, it's like trying to predict where lightning is going to strike.

    – Jeremy Gillula

    It’s hard enough to capture lightning in a bottle once, and I think that’s as perfect as you can get. And I think we just want to leave it alone and respect that.

    – Fred Savage

    It's just a folklore that lightning would never strike the same place twice. Last year, on June 30, 2014, three skyscrapers from Chicago were struck by lightning 22 times - 10 strikes to the Sears (Willis) Tower, 8 to the Trump Tower, and 4 to the John Hancock Tower. So be assured that lightning can surely strike any location more than once, and probably at the same spot over and over again, given enough time. It may take as little as few seconds in a thunderstorm, or as long as millions of years - but lightning will eventually strike the same place twice. Be Safe out there!

    – Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate

    The images of neighborhoods across Europe reduced to rubble due to wartime air raids are a lasting reminder of the destruction that can be caused by man-made explosions, but the impact of these bombs way up in the Earth's atmosphere has never been realized until now. It is astonishing to see how the ripples caused by man-made explosions can affect the edge of space. Each raid released the energy of at least 300 lightning strikes. The sheer power involved has allowed us to quantify how events on the Earth's surface can also affect the ionosphere.

    – Chris Scott

    The Baltic sea isn't the cleanest and when the temperatures are so high, then these organisms multiply at lightning speed and beaches need to be closed.

    – Jan Bondar
