Fascinating weather • One of the more fascinating weather facts: Thunder is produced when lightning “slices” air pressure in the atmosphere. When lightning retracts, the colliding air pressure rushing back together creates the “clap” noise we are familiar with. • Worms can’t get oxygen when the soil is flooded, so they come up from the ground to breathe. • Lightning does strike twice in the same place: If it’s a tall, pointed, and isolated object, then more so. Lightning strikes the Empire State Building around 23 times a year. • Being underneath a tree is the second-leading cause of lightning deaths. It is more advisable to stay indoors during thunderstorms and avoid conductors, such as metals and wires. www.mybulletinnewspaper.com (979) 849-5407 April 28, 2020 THE BULLETIN Page 3 stem cells in hair follicles that are mitter norepinephrine, which in Strange but True converted into pigment-producing turn overactivated the stem cells, missing others’ ideas.
