Fulminology (LIGHTNING) with Chris Giesige

Published: Sept. 23, 2020, 5:46 a.m.

b'Thunder and lightning: very, very frighteningly interesting! Wildfire researcher and lightning scientist Chris Giesige answers questions about thunderclaps and lightning flashes in a laid back way that will put him at the top of your Fulminologist list. He explains everything from clouds to positive and negative charges, volcanic lightning, fire tornadoes, getting struck by lightning, fractal scars, sprites, elves, how many gigawatts in a lightning strike, and how to enjoy a storm without getting zapped. Also, heartbreak vs. heart damage from electricity.\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\nFollow Chris at Twitter.com/Cgiesige39 or Instagram.com/chrisgiesige\\n\\nA donation went to International Relief Teams: irteams.org and Westcats.com\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\nSponsors of the show: www.alieward.com/ologies-sponsors\\n\\nFor more links: alieward.com/ologies/fulminology\\n\\nTranscripts & bleeped episodes at: alieward.com/ologies-extras\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month: www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, pins, totes and uh...bikinis?
