طقس قاسٍ

Every thunderstorm is dangerous because every thunderstorm produces lightning. Every year in the United States, an average of 300 people are injured and 80 people are killed by lightning.

Although most lightning victims survive, people struck by lightning often report a variety of long-term, debilitating symptoms. Survivors often lose their ability to concentrate on tasks such as reading for long periods of time, finding it uncomfortable. Some people find they have poorer mathematical skills. 

Because currents often flow into the body through the eyes and ears, people struck by lightning may also experience vision loss, cataracts and hearing loss.

In the case of dry thunderstorms, rain does not reach the ground and evaporates instead. However, lightning from these storms can still reach the ground and can start wildfires.
