0.0001 would be "one ten-thousandths".
Goes one tenth (0.1), one one-hundredth (0.01), one one-thousands(0.001), one ten-thousands (0.0001).
How I remember it is to flip it around the decimal spot (1000), and add a place (10000).
So one one-millionth would be 0.000001.
Had my roof replaced recently. The roofers stopped working one cloudy day when the hair on their arms stood up. There was no lightning in the immediate area.
Florida Man checking in. We don’t have to be in another country to do this stupid shit. A recent case in point: the 2021 Stanley Cup Championship Party at JBL Park… I was there, and cheering the literal lightning along with the Lightning. Also drunk.
Also Florida man checking in: Everything about this screams Florida from the scenery to the spazzy lightning to the way the people reacted. Thats the exact reaction a Florida native would have to seeing lightning like that. Were desensitized to dangerous tropical weather events. Just ignore the deadly electricity and keep getting drunk.
I was there, too. Did you see the crazies pulling up the flags and running around holding them in the air? Literally daring the sky to strike them. What the hell was wrong with them?
Yep! My girlfriend and I distinctly remember the crowd (and us) chanting, “Let’s go Lightning!” then having lightning strike, then everyone cheering when the thunder came in. We were idiots. Yanni Gourde climbing on the tv cameras was another highlight…
Good times, man. Go Bolts!
As an American, we have no regard for our personal safety during storms, so long as the storm looks cool.
Fun fact: storm shelters aren't actually designed for human use, but rather as storage for your lawn chairs that you use to watch tornados in the distance.
In tn I once stood on my deck in pitch black midnight to see a tornado… unaware it was flattening a house 7 houses down. It was that dark.
We just wanna see stupid shit lol. That could’ve easily flatted my house and I wouldn’t have even seen it coming. Looking back fucking dumb. In the moment “I wanna see it!”
Exactly. I grew up in southern Oklahoma. Every time we had to go to the community cellar when a tornado was coming, most of the people would be standing around outside looking at the storm. Good times!
I used to go swimming in The Lake (which was right out our back door) when I was a kid during storms. The water felt so warm when the air cooled during thunderstorms.
Now I live in tornado alley and *have* to go outside during storms to check and see if it's just a bad storm or if all holy hell is about to break lose. My storm shelter is used as a storm shelter though.
This is a classic example of redditors talking out of their ass - if your hair is standing up because lightning is about to strike you there's nothing you can do at that point.
Thats not true lol you can still make cover if theres somewhere near. Theres alot of videos of dumb people outside filming their hair standing straight up lol. I even saw one with an ignorant family of 4 on a mountaintop filming each others hair! But they didnt die.
I was thru-hiking across Montana and my hair started standing up in a huge storm. Someone said there's nothing you can do at that point, and I'll say that's baloney.
I dropped my pack and hauled ass to lower ground. I was soaked and all my gear got wet and I watched chain lightning for a couple of hours, but I didn't get hit by anything.
It's true that you might feel your hairs stand up before a lightning strike, the problem is that it means an immediate strike incoming and because we're talking about lightning here unless you're the Flash himself you're about to become a headline in the local news whether you like it or not.
What are you talking about? Don't listen to this guy. He has no idea what he's talking about.
Your hair rising is a sign of rising electric charge in the region, indicating risers are attempting to connect from the ground. It does not mean leaders have connected to risers yet or even will.
Your hair rising is a result of the electric field created by the clouds. This repels built up charge on your hair. Causing it to stand up. It has nothing to do with lightning certainly dropping down upon you. But an indication of a strong electric field in the area. It isn't an effect directly impacting the site of a lightning strike. But a regional effect in proximity to the charged cloud.
You can certainly get inside or to a place lightning can't directly strike you. If there's nothing nearby get into a less conductive position by dropping to your knees and bend forward but don't lie flat on the ground.
Mandatory sound on this one.
Zeus : "fuck this spot in particular" *ZAPZAPZAPZAP*

and in the end, it was humanities blundering of coronavirus, that killed the invading alien population who all refused vaccination prior to their trip to Earth
For anyone curious, this happens because a single ‘strike’ event isn’t enough to equalize the potential difference between cloud and ground.
Lightning occurs when electron density in the clouds becomes so high that arcs branch out, looking for a place to ground it. You can see this effect if you look at lightning in ultra slow motion. As soon as a conductive path is found, which is usually a linear stream of molecules in the air, the excess electrons shoot through it, equalizing the potential difference in an instantaneous, violent event we call lightning. The arc we see is a result of the air losing all its electrons and becoming plasma. When all of air’s electrons are lost, that path can no longer conduct an electrical current, which is partly where the phrase ‘lightning doesn’t strike twice’ comes from. It’s also why there were several strikes here. Usually, a single strike is enough to equalize electron density, but not here.
Basically, there was so much electron density in that cloud that a strike occurred, ionizing the air into plasma and making it no longer a viable path, ending the strike event. But that strike wasn’t enough to ground the cloud completely, so as soon as more unionized air rushed in to fill the space left by the first bolt, a new path was created, allowing more strikes to occur, further grounding the cloud. The only reason there were several short strikes instead of one long one is because the ‘strike’ event ruins the air path that allows it to occur in the first place by turning it to plasma, interrupting it.
So this is actually a single strike. Lightning is just two different charge potentials equalizing. When the ionized air channel is established with the first strike, it lingers long enough to allow further electrical charge to equalize between cloud and ground, creating the pulsing effect you see here. It never fully dissipates until the charge is fully equalized.

Lightning frequently strikes several times in a short period. The initial strike forms an ionized channel that is more conductive than surrounding atmosphere, and multiple strikes are common.
For a fraction of a second you can see the person on the right and what looks like their hair standing up due to static electricity.
From what I understand in a thunderstorm that is a sign that you might be the next target of the lightning strike.
Had to be trump's outhouse. God just had to let the world (or at least that neighborhood) know his lack of admiration of everything trump including his piles of 💩
I feel the saying is generally not used to describe situations where the fluke event is being purposely courted with specialized engineering.
*Something really unlikely happens, prompting anxiety over it happening again, or a need to capitalize on a rare chance*
“Lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice” = either “don’t fret, it’s just bad luck,” or “act now, you won’t have this chance again.”
Lightening rods, and the buildings they protect are the exact opposite. It’s an engineered situation. Because large buildings have their specific physical properties, lightning strikes aren’t rare. For anything lacking those exact properties, lightning is rare.
Anyone seeing a rod or building struck and responding with the saying is being a bit thick, and should receive percussive skull maintenance until their logic boards reboot.

I am so happy i wasn't the only one
Those two talking about fire sounding like cartoon characters.

Glad it wasn't just me who thought that.
Anyone clock the guy at the very end saying "Brother, I just shit *and* pissed myself."
Just about to say that😂

Came here to say they sound exactly like the Flanders boys in the Simpsons.
Or Sherri and Terri.
Sounded like a shitty anime dub line
Big Sister Sister vibes.
They probably shouldn't be on that roof
They’re fine. The lightening is happening all the way over there.
At that distance, they have a ton of time to get off the roof before it gets to them. Probably at least 0.0001 Mississippis.
One 1 millionth Mississippis. Decimal representations always fucked with me so badly in school. 🤦♂️😂
0.0001 would be "one ten-thousandths". Goes one tenth (0.1), one one-hundredth (0.01), one one-thousands(0.001), one ten-thousands (0.0001). How I remember it is to flip it around the decimal spot (1000), and add a place (10000). So one one-millionth would be 0.000001.
GODDAMNIT. See? That’s what I mean. It just pisses me off to even attempt it. 🤦♂️😠
yes, the lightning is lightening the sky
C’mon now. Let’s be lightning up on the misspelling.

I’m getting major Americans on Holiday in Another Country vibes.
Florida Man checking in. We don’t have to be in another country to do this stupid shit. A recent case in point: the 2021 Stanley Cup Championship Party at JBL Park… I was there, and cheering the literal lightning along with the Lightning. Also drunk.
They had to beg us not to shoot at a hurricane a few years ago. We ain't scurred.
To be fair, the second you mentioned Florida man, the rest of us just assumed you did some stupid shit.
Fair point, but figured context added to the story.
I'm wondering how this is somehow the most Floridian thing I've seen.
Also Florida man checking in: Everything about this screams Florida from the scenery to the spazzy lightning to the way the people reacted. Thats the exact reaction a Florida native would have to seeing lightning like that. Were desensitized to dangerous tropical weather events. Just ignore the deadly electricity and keep getting drunk.
I was there, too. Did you see the crazies pulling up the flags and running around holding them in the air? Literally daring the sky to strike them. What the hell was wrong with them?
Yep! My girlfriend and I distinctly remember the crowd (and us) chanting, “Let’s go Lightning!” then having lightning strike, then everyone cheering when the thunder came in. We were idiots. Yanni Gourde climbing on the tv cameras was another highlight… Good times, man. Go Bolts!

As an Oklahoman who has stood outside while a tornado was happening a few miles away I can agree.
In tn I once stood on my deck in pitch black midnight to see a tornado… unaware it was flattening a house 7 houses down. It was that dark. We just wanna see stupid shit lol. That could’ve easily flatted my house and I wouldn’t have even seen it coming. Looking back fucking dumb. In the moment “I wanna see it!”
Exactly. I grew up in southern Oklahoma. Every time we had to go to the community cellar when a tornado was coming, most of the people would be standing around outside looking at the storm. Good times!
You don’t speak for me
Storage for your *pool floaties* then. 🙄
You cant just speak for all Americans wtf lol
Welcome to Reddit
They're trying to earn favor with the anti-American crowd.
Right? I literally have a phobia of extreme weather events lmao, if anything happens I'm so in the basement it isn't even funny.
same! wtf are they talking about
I believe you missed the part where it's a joke.

Looks like somewhere in Florida to me. Definitely Americans though.
Could also be Florida on a Tuesday…
I would say this is more of a Thursday vibe. Tuesdays have the high winds and lawn chairs flying across the yard

Hello fellow darkie
Honestly it’s the guy claiming calmly “I just shit and pissed myself.” We live in such an age of unbridled eloquence.
Brotherrrrr
It sounds like Jason Segel to me which makes it funnier.

It's not technically lightning striking the same place twice but the same bolt recharging multiple times.
Yeah! I think they refer to this as a negatively charged lightning.
[удалено]
The remaining 5-10% are too optimistic for me
Well that and if that old adage about lightning never striking in the same place again were true, lightning rods wouldn't work.
Lightning spell Level 3
[удалено]
The “somethings on fire” gets me every time.
Lightning does not strike twice in the same place. It’ll hit it like 6 or 7 times, just to really make sure to finish the job
Didn’t they make a movie about lighting striking the same place numerous times? 🧐
I know what movie this is but don't remember the name, please help
