FLORIDA, OF COURSE —Two seconds is admittedly quick.
I imply, it takes a full 5 seconds for meals to grow to be contaminated when it falls on the ground — not less than, I feel that is what science says. And it takes Usain Bolt practically 10 seconds to run 100 meters. That is virtually 5 instances longer than 2 seconds. See, I do know maths.
The purpose is, it is arduous to see something occur in 2 seconds. However I am right here to let you know that one thing unimaginable can occur in that tiny time-frame.
This video is 36 seconds lengthy, however that is solely as a result of it reveals the identical 2 seconds over and over. That is OK as a result of it is an superior 2 seconds. While you clarify it, it does not appear that nice: lightning hits a tree. But it surely seems so spectacular!
The video captures the lightning bolt completely, and that poor palm tree by no means knew what hit it. Fortunately, the injury was contained to just about simply a few damaged branches (and perhaps some sore eardrums from across the neighborhood).
There’s something about watching the ability and pace of that lightning bolt and realizing that one thing so highly effective and awe-inspiring can occur so abruptly and anyplace at any time.
Now, go guess your pals and family members so you possibly can impress them with one of many coolest issues they’ll see shortly. I am assured they will not be disillusioned.
