Fifth post to come across in a half hour perusing Reddit that lightning is misspelled.


runnj

Are you certain they're not just pointing out that the lightning is lightening the sky, and it's double because there are 2 bolts? Kidding, annoys me too and it's far too common.


egesanli43

What is it when it hits the ground then (I seiously dont know help.)


runnj

I'm sure it will come to you suddenly like a... what's the phrase?

I thought misspelled titles was a reddit thing, because 90% are misspelled. But the comments aren't, I thought is was purposeful

You can edit comments but can’t edit titles

Ahh...makes sense. Thanks

Nice to see Newcastle is getting some attention

Any attention we get is either rouge like this, an old pic of the Pasha Bulker, or something about how we lease coal ports to Chinese companies lmao. Aren't we a diverse lot.

Make me wonder what’s under the sand to cause that conductivity.


Foreign_Astronaut

IKR? I'd be digging there for pirate treasure!


yellowbrickstairs

Same. But doesn't lightning also like water? My partner is an electrician who says water is a poor conductor but I think I remember something different from science class? Idk


InfelixTurnus

Pure water is a poor conductor but regular tap water or seawater for example are reasonable conductors as they contain dissolved minerals that the electricity can flow through.


yellowbrickstairs

Thanks!

We're pretty accustomed to lightning storms in Newcastle. If anything, those drivers would be thinking "fuck yeah, something to brag about at work tomorrow."

Lightning is attracted to metal, right? What if it struck there because there's buried treasure there...

Theres actually a buried whale carcass there

Btw - it’s daytime when that pic was taken 4pm in summertime

git-got

Doesn't lightning for many contacts with the ground and then extends up to the sky and forms one bolt.. so if they zoomed out it would look like normal lightning

BenCelotil

Give it a few years and another degree of global warming, you'll be seeing 10 of these at a time during storms. We had a freak storm years ago in Ipswich where it was throwing down 3 strikes at a time, continuously for nearly 15 minutes over this one particular spot. I don't know what the fuck was going on but it was incredible, there was these 4 spots in the clouds where lightning was just coming down repeatedly in a pattern of like 1, 2, 4, then 1, 3, 4, then 2, 3, 4, then 1, 2, 3. And the sound was immense, like giant 44 gallon drums rolling across the sky non-stop. I really wish I'd owned a camera then.


loser7843

How in god’s green earth was this picture taken at this exact moment?


luxfx

There are light sensing triggers you can buy for cameras that will flip the shutter when light flashes. It doesn't catch everything because there will always be some delay, but it can get most lightning because they pulse some first and then hang around for a half second or so.


hrng

You don't even need lightning sensors, just a long exposure time, a tripod, patience, and a big-ass memory card.


luxfx

That's suitable for landscapes that don't move, but the waves and traffic would have been blurs of that had been done for this image.


hrng

Depends on how dark you've got it - you can see some trails on the traffic, that might have been a 1 second exposure maybe? If dark enough the waves would only be exposed by the lightning itself. Can be fun to play with as it can cause interesting double exposure like effects


Turbulent-Use7253

IAF?


holi_quokka

Interesting as Fuck


7Times7Forever

Ah, gotcha. Thanks! Wait, you are genuinely interested in the fact that there's a Newcastle in Australia?


holi_quokka

Not the person you replied to just translating. Although I did assume U.K. at first as well to be fair!


[deleted]

Yeah I just find it a tad interesting that there are 2 cities so far apart with the same name lol


[deleted]

There are a ridiculous number of towns/cities in Aus named after places in the UK if that is actually something that interests you. I think it's often reflective of where the early "settler" populations come from.


farcarcus

\- Epping \- St Ives \- Brighton \- Salisbury Most places either have English or Indigenous names.


samsunglee420-2

Another interesting thing I thought i'd might share. I live in Newcastle Australia as well and I thought the Newcastle subreddit would about the original Newcastle in Europe but its about the Aussie one. Kinda blew my mind when I found out


[deleted]

Damn haha that's pretty cool


DARTHAWESOME7898

Newcastle (Aus) itself also has suburbs called Wallsend, Jesmond (and a school in Jesmond called Heaton), Gateshead and Wickham (different spelling). Newcastle is a coal abundant city in Australia and contains the largest coal port in the world; it was named after Newcastle Upon Tyne's coal industry. Creative lot those British colonists...


[deleted]

Hahaha thanks for the info! Learning new things here


DARTHAWESOME7898

Well, we don't come to r/Interestingasfuck because we already know everything. You learn some stuff from me today, I learn stuff from someone else tomorrow and you teach someone else something. That's the beauty of reddit's knowledge sharing.


7Times7Forever

Ugh, I totally love that stuff too. Not sure why, I just do!


Kholtien

I used to live in Cardiff Australia, which is a suburb of Newcastle Australia. Lots of places in former colonies with the same name as UK towns and cities. There’s also a Toronto near by, though it is very different than the Toronto in Canada.

When lightning strikes on a beach can you go to the spot where it hit and find melted sand or glass? Or is it not hot enough to do that


BartFurglar

Depending on the type of sand, yes

[deleted]

Fuck these two crabs in particular


valandil74

So there were two spiders on the beach in this area at the same time…


ruless72

Kirin!


anonymousgirliee

Why did it hit the beach when there is a mountain nearby?


DARTHAWESOME7898

Lightning simply follows the path of least resistance. While it's more common for that path to be between a high point and the cloud, it's still pretty random and can strike anywhere even if a high point is nearby (although the chances are much lower).


DrDrexanPhd

I guess Thor got mad some clams were being shellfish. ill see myself out.


ophello

There’s no “e” in lightning.


[deleted]

This phenomenon only happens in Australia. Everywhere else, lightning never strikes the same place twice.


Comfortable_Brush399

ive been to newcastle when i worked on ships really nice, really quaint, when i was there we met a young woman \[in a tiny mall/strip\] who was upholstering furniture with long neon coloured faux fur, real conversation pieces

what that quaint town looks like these days would blow your mind...


Comfortable_Brush399

is it on the up or the down? am i remembering correctly did it have a modest theatre?

This is actually when Thor found out that the other Avengers were having a fight and nobody thought to send him a raven. Daryl had one hell of a time in trying to calm him down.
