Unannounced thunder and lightning has now become a daily feature it seems. And when this happens it always results in destruction and even lives are lost. It was never like this say a few years ago. One lives in constant fear. If there is slight warning then everything needs to be switched off. Is this living?

I have been witnessing thunder, lightening, rains and hail storm since my childhood. It depends on which part of country you live. Some places there is a heavy rainfall and some places there is only thunder and lightning. There is no reason that all this should frighten you. Just stay indoors. Plug your ears if you cannot bear loud noise. If you are out in the open, do not take shelter under the trees. They might fall on you. Switch off the lights. Do not keep your TV, Fridge, etc. on. Sometimes live wires too break and electrocute people around.

When there is unannounced thunder and lightning some times even during the day, one does not get enough time to switch of current supply. There was a case recently fire broke out from the ground. It is frightening when one has no control over it. It just destroys houses and even lives. I too have experienced thunder and lightning in the past but not the way it manifests these days.

I am not talking about me but in general. When discussions are initiated it is not always for personal reasons.

Maybe the knowledge of thunder and lighning can release the fearing. I remembered that the program of National geography has introducted the forming,and processing of thunder and lighting. There are suggestions how to decreas the damage caused by them. And they are the nature phenomenon.We are not in the stage to controll them,but we can learn form the former examples.
