Answer 1

The temperature in a lightning strack approaches that of the temperature of the sun.So it is very much like heating the air untill it explodes. Each strike produces about 200 lb. of NO2 . This is an excelent fertelizer.  

Answer 2

It may have been a phenomenon known as ball lightning here is a basic understanding from wiki  

Answer 3

Whether inside or outside, if it was that close, unplug them and read a book.  The bad news, The pulse from a large enough discharge can damage them anyway.

Answer 4

You have ghosts my friend. Poltergeists.

They want you to stay away from drugs.  They're bad unkay.

Answer 5
