"NASA's retrofitted U-2 spy plane has uncovered an #electrifying revelation: tropical #lightning #storms are more than dazzling displays; they're unexpectedly #radioactive! This surprising discovery offers a glimpse into the #powerful interplay between Earth's atmosphere and #radiation, highlighting how much we still have to learn about these natural phenomena. At (Wattson & Ohms), we take #lightning seriously because understanding its full behavior is key to effective #protection.While researchers unravel the deeper mysteries of #lightning's radioactive bursts, we remain focused on solutions that #safeguard structures, systems, and #lives against every aspect of this #unpredictable force. What do you think this discovery means for the future of atmospheric and #lightning research?

A lightning strike to a critical facility* can prevent essential services, such as emergency response or medical care, from being available when needed the most by an individual or a community. *CRITICAL FACILITIES: Fire stations, police stations, hospitals, emergency operation centers and others. It takes only one lightning strike…to start a fire and to cause internal damage to a building: electrical wiring,computers, communication devices, security systems, and other critical electronics. It’s Critical - to protect Critical Facilities. A well-designed and properly installed lightning protection system can prevent these consequences. Find the blog post on the Insurance Information Institute website - and other intriguing insurance information and data! https://lnkd.in/gTCu_xxd For a well designed and properly installed system, choose a certified LPI professional near you: https://lnkd.in/eJB2iuW *Top Right picture: Ft.

A tragic incident recently highlighted the immense, #unpredictable power of #lightning during a live soccer match in Peru, claiming the life of a young athlete. Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and the soccer community as they process this #devastating loss. This heartbreaking event underscores the serious #danger that #lightning poses, especially in open fields and during outdoor events. At Wattson & Ohms, our mission is to ensure that such #tragedies are minimized through comprehensive #lightningprotection #solutions and education. While we can't control nature's power, we can mitigate its impact, creating #safer environments for everyone. Let's use this somber moment to reflect on the importance of proper #lightning #safety measures-whether through robust detection systems, grounding strategies, or #risk assessments tailored for outdoor spaces and sports venues. #Safety must always be the priority. Have you implemented or considered advanced #lightningprotection measures for outdoor activities or venues? Let's discuss how to make #safety a permanent fixture on and off the field.

In a stunning showcase of #naturalforces, a dust tornado and #lightning were recently captured on camera in the UAE. This rare combination highlights just how #unpredictable weather can be and the powerful energy exchanges occurring in our atmosphere. At (Wattson & ohms) we're reminded of the critical role #lightningprotection plays in #safeguarding lives and infrastructure. As weather patterns grow more intense, resilience and proactive #safety measures become essential. #LightningProtection #WeatherSafety #ClimateResilience #UAE #NaturalPhenomena.
