than walking alone in the light."

Facts
Every year, the Earth experiences an average of 25 million lightning strikes during some 100,000 thunderstorms. That’s more than a hundred lightning bolts per second.
An average instance of lightning lasts about a quarter of a second and consists of 3-4 strikes.
You can hear thunder from about 12 miles from the starting point.
Lightning bolts travel at speeds of up to 60,000 miles per second.
The average length of a single lightning bolt is 2-3 miles.

Tip
Never talk on the phone while a storm is breaking outside. Not only do cell phones “attract” lightning, but about 1% of all lightning deaths in the U.S. are a result of people talking inside the home on a corded phone during a thunderstorm.
