Colorado Lightning Safety Awareness Week continues through this Saturday. Today we discuss the science of lightning.
Every thunderstorm produces lightning. Lightning is simply a giant spark that moves within the cloud, between the clouds, or between the cloud and the ground. As lightning passes through the air, it heats the air rapidly to a temperature of about fifty thousand degrees Fahrenheit. This causes a rapid expansion of the air along the lightning channel. This rapid expansion causes a shock wave that we hear as thunder.
The Kiowa County Sheriff’s Office has made multiple arrests following burglaries that took place in Eads during May and June.
Deputies investigated a burglary that occurred in the 800 block of Hickman Street that was first reported May 9. Five felony warrants were issued for burglary and theft which resulted in the arrest of three juveniles. They have not been named. Also arrested was Joseph Burk of Calhan. He was transported to Prowers County Jail. An additional arrest warrant was issued for an adult male who has not been named.
Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he (she) should go, and when he/she is old, he/she will not depart from it.” I think these statements from the Patriot Post relate to this scripture. “Seven things every kid needs to hear: 1. I love you, 2. I am proud of you, 3. I am sorry, 4. I forgive you. 5. I am listening. 6. Communism has failed every time it was tried 7. You’ve got what it takes.”
Colorado Lightning Safety Awareness Week continues through Saturday. Today we discuss the lightning threat across the Centennial State.
