![]() “Cyno, what are you doing here?” Tighnari forgot his pain and started to run towards him. While Hazm shrunk back in fear, Tighnari recognized him. The person was tall with strange ears and he almost appeared to be a jackal. With the storm around them, it was difficult to see the person aside from their silhouette. “You shouldn’t waste your breath trying to change Tighnari’s mind.” Someone interrupted their argument and they turned towards the voice. As a Forest Watcher, it was his duty to protect the rainforest. His body still felt sore after being struck by lightning but he forced himself to move forward. He planted traps around the main entrance. A thunderstorm forced them to retreat but Tighnari was still wary of the Doctor returning for Haypasia. Go back inside and reassure them that they are safe here.”Įarlier, Pardis Dhyai had been attacked by the Fatui. They’re probably scared after the Fatui came and a panic is the last thing we need. ![]() “Hazm, the students need you more than I do. ![]() I have Karkata to help me so please go back into the greenhouse.” Tighnari brushed aside Hazm’s concern. I’ve rested enough so don’t worry about me. I’m the only one here who has a dendro vision. “These plant-based traps are delicate and it’s best that I place them myself. Let the staff deal with securing the wall.” “You’re still recovering from your injuries. He struggled to cover himself with the umbrella and hold onto the mechanical crab at the same time. Tighnari leaned heavily on Karkata and continued to walk along the gate of Pardis Dhyai. Even if rain wasn’t pouring around them, he was certain that Tighnari would disregard his warning and continue patrolling. The bolts are also said to reach temperatures of 30,000 C which is five times hotter than the surface of the sun.“Tighnari, you should be resting.” Hazm’s words were drowned out by the sound of thunder. Lichtenberg figures are now also known to be examples of fractals.Ī single bolt of lightning is made up of 100 million volts and the Met Office has reported that they travel at the speed of 270,000 mph. Even though Lichtenberg only studied 2D figures, modern high voltage researchers study 2D and 3D figures (electrical trees) on, and within, insulating materials. This discovery was also the prelude to the modern-day science of plasma physics. When the patterns were first discovered, it was thought that their characteristic shapes might help to reveal the nature of positive and negative electric “fluids”. The pattern happens when high voltage passes through or along the surface of materials with insulating capabilities. Lichtenberg figures get their name from the German physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, the man who first discovered and studied the fern-like shapes that were made by electric damage. But I was still able to hear everything." Tapia said, "At first I didn’t feel anything but after I was able to get control of my arms after they were helping me, that’s just when everything started burning. I got struck, I didn’t feel myself fall down. His 13-year-old friend, Josiah Wiedman, had not been so lucky and suffered a concussion as well as a fractured skull. He now has Lichtenberg figures in both places. The lightning hit 13-year-old Javier Tapia on the hip and traveled through his body before exiting his foot. Recently two teenage boys were able to survive being struck by lightning while they were walking through a park in El Mirage, Arizona, on August 8. They have also said that 80% of the lightning victims they have recorded are male. In any case, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents has stated that "30-60 people are struck by lightning each year in Britain, and on average, 3 (5-10%) of these strikes are fatal". David Hand's book, The Improbability Principle, has suggested that the likelihood of being hit is 300,000/1, while the BMJ has said that the figure is closer to 10,000,000/1. The chances of getting struck by lightning in the UK are pretty slim, to begin with, even though there are different sources that vary on how rare exactly it is to be struck. In most of the cases of the survivors, the marks do not end up being permanent and could even go away after only a couple of days. They occur under the skin when the lightning strike causes the person's blood vessels to explode. These patterns, which look like fern-leaves, are known as Lichtenberg figures. ![]() Not only that, they have all been given a unique mark on their skin in the areas that were affected by the lightning. Some people who have been struck by lightning, however, have managed to avoid all the horrifying life-changing injuries and have lived to tell the tale. The person could end up having organ damage, amnesia, broken bones, and could even die. There are a lot of things that could happen to a person when they are struck by a bolt of lightning.
