A lightning storm triggered the fire suppression system at Spirit Airlines' Detroit hangar on July 4th, causing a massive foam spill that damaged aircraft and disrupted maintenance operations, with extensive cleanup and potential aircraft downtime expected.
A lightning storm in Oregon has sparked nearly 20 fires in Douglas County, with the Tyee Ridge complex threatening homes and structures. Governor Tina Kotek has invoked the Emergency Conflagration Act and requested additional resources for the Cougar Creek fire. In Clackamas County, firefighters are battling the 225-acre Camp Creek fire near the Bull Run Watershed, while the Horse Creek fire in the Willamette National Forest has burned around 25 acres. New fires have also started near the Smith River Complex, which has crossed the California border into southern Oregon. Evacuation orders have been issued in affected areas.
The eruption of the underwater volcano Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai triggered the most intense lightning storm ever recorded, according to a study published in Geophysical Research Letters. The eruption sent millions of tons of ash, dust, and superheated water into the atmosphere, creating an umbrella cloud. Lightning strikes occurred at an unprecedented rate, with approximately 2,600 strikes per minute during the peak. The lightning also occurred at significantly higher altitudes than usual, suggesting that volcanoes can create their own weather systems.
The eruption of the Hunga undersea volcano near Tonga in January 2022 produced the most intense lightning storm ever recorded on Earth, with 2,600 flashes per minute at its peak. The eruption generated hundreds of thousands of lightning events in just six hours, the most extreme concentration of lightning ever detected. The volcanic plume produced the highest-altitude lightning flashes ever measured, at some 12 to 19 miles above sea level. The eruption triggered a supercharged thunderstorm, the likes of which we’ve never seen, and created more extreme lightning than any other kind of storm on Earth.
Diablo 4 players can use Lightning Storm Companions or Landslide Druid builds to make the painful process of leveling a Druid a little easier. The Lightning Storm build is powerful in the early parts of the game and deals impressive AoE damage, while the Landslide Druid build requires key Legendary Aspects to become viable but is a ton of fun once assembled. Both builds are pure leveling builds and will not last into the endgame.
The eruption of Tonga's Hunga Volcano in January 2022 produced the most intense lightning storm on record, with an estimated 192,000 flashes of lightning in just 11 hours. The eruption also created the largest explosive eruption of the century, with a plume of ash, water, and gas at least 58 kilometers high. The lightning data revealed four distinct phases in the eruption, which hadn't been previously spotted, and will help future eruption forecasting and modeling. The research used a combination of optical and radio readings to monitor the volcanic plume and lightning storm in real-time.
The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption in Tonga produced the most powerful atmospheric explosion ever recorded and generated a record number of lightning strikes in a supercharged thunderstorm that lasted 11 hours and spread across 150 miles. The eruption shattered the number of lightning strikes record, producing the most intense lightning storm ever seen, with 2,600 flashes per minute at its peak and totaling about 192,000 flashes over the course of 11 hours. The lightning strikes were detected by both a network of radio antennae designed to track storms and two Earth-orbiting spacecraft.
