Thunder

Thunder is the sound caused by lightning. Depending on the distance and nature of the lightning, thunder can range from a sharp, loud crack to a long, low rumble (brontide). The sudden increase in pressure and temperature from lightning produces rapid expansion of the air surrounding and within a bolt of lightning. In turn, this expansion of air creates a sonic shock wave, similar to a sonic boom, which produces the sound of thunder, often referred to as a clap, crack, or peal of thunder.

Cause

The cause of thunder has been the subject of centuries of speculation and scientific inquiry. The first recorded theory is attributed to the Greek philosopher Aristotle in the fourth century BC, and an early speculation was that it was caused by the collision of clouds. Subsequently, numerous other theories were proposed. By the mid-19th century, the accepted theory was that lightning produced a vacuum.

In the 20th century a consensus evolved that thunder must begin with a shock wave in the air due to the sudden thermal expansion of the plasma in the lightning channel. The temperature inside the lightning channel, measured by spectral analysis, varies during its 50 μs existence, rising sharply from an initial temperature of about 20,000 K to about 30,000 K, then dropping away gradually to about 10,000 K. The average is about 20,400 K (20,100 °C; 36,300 °F). This heating causes a rapid outward expansion, impacting the surrounding cooler air at a speed faster than sound would otherwise travel. The resultant outward-moving pulse is a shock wave, similar in principle to the shock wave formed by an explosion, or at the front of a supersonic aircraft.

    Thunder (ship)

    FV Thunder was an outlaw fishing vessel sunk in 2015. The ship was built in 1969 in Norway and has gone by many names, including: Vesturvón, Arctic Ranger, Rubin, Typhoon I, Kuko, and Wuhan N4. The ship was last registered in Lagos, Nigeria; however, the ship was officially de-listed by Nigeria a week before it sank.

    At the time of its sinking, the crew consisted of 30 Indonesians and 10 officers from Spain, Chile, and Portugal, who were turned over to the authorities in São Tomé and Príncipe. The officers of the crew were later tried and convicted of several illegal fishing offences. The captain, Luis Alfonso Rubio Cataldo of Chile, was given a three year sentence. The ship's chief engineer, Agustín Dosil Rey of Spain, was given a two year and nine month sentence. The ship's second mechanic, Luis Miguel Pérez Fernández of Spain, was given a two year and eight month sentence. Together, they were fined a total of over $17 million.Interpol believes that the vessel was part of a fleet of six operating through shell corporations under Vidal Armadores, a company based in Spain.

    Dirty Love

    by: Thunder

    I see you walking by, you've got that faraway look in your eye
    It was only yesterday, like a cheap suit you were all over me
    I should know better by now my friend, just what I mean to you
    You've been running in and out of my life so long
    I don't want nothing to do with you
    I don't need your dirty love, I don't want you touching me
    I don't want your dirty love, it's enough, trying to live with the memory
    Na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na
    Chew me up, spit me out, you turned my whole world inside out
    There's a name for girls like you
    You belong in the gutter, I know that you do
    Baby I've had enough lies to last the rest of my days on earth
    So now you're gonna get what you deserve
    I don't need your dirty love, I don't want you touching me
    I don't want your dirty love, it's enough
    I know there ain't no way I'll stay, we were gonna break it up some day
    And that day is now, baby I'm getting out
    So don't you cry now, sigh now
    'Cos you've been living a lie now when I'm not around
    (Solo)
    You've been running in and out of my life so long
    There ain't no way I'll stay, no way
    I don't need your dirty love, I don't want you touching me
    I don't want your dirty love, it's enough, trying to live with the memory
    Na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na
    Na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na, I don't need your dirty love
    So get out, I've packed your bags, I left 'em at the door
