Description:
Glenn Field, Warning Coordination Meteorologist, National Weather Service in Boston/Norton, MA, will discuss and share examples of different weather phenomena, including tornadoes, hurricanes, severe thunderstorms flash floods, and especially lightning. Did you know that a lightning bolt is 5 times hotter than the surface of the sun? Lightning strikes the United States about 25 million times a year and is the #2 weather-related killer nationwide. Glenn will show you how important it is to listen for thunder -- because when thunder roars, you should go indoors! (Grades 3-6 but Grades 7-8 will like the topic too) (Recorded on April 1, 2020)
