It’s a kid-friendly episode on … thunder and lightning: very, very frighteningly interesting! Wildfire researcher and lightning scientist Chris Giesige answers questions about thunderclaps and lightning flashes in a laid back way that will put him at the top of your Fulminologist list. He explains everything from clouds to positive and negative charges, the link between lightning scientists and firefighters, volcanic lightning, ice particle mosh pits, how many gigawatts in a lightning strike, and how to enjoy a storm without getting zapped. Follow Chris on <a href="https://twitter.com/cgiesige39?lang=en" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/chrisgiesige" target="_blank">Instagram</a>A donation went to International Relief Teams:<a href="https://www.irteams.org/" target="_blank"> irteams.org</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/fulminology">Full-length (*not*G-rated) Fulminology episode + tons of science links </a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/smologies">More kid-friendly Smologies episodes!</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" target="_blank">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, masks, totes!Follow @Ologies on <a href="https://twitter.com/ologies" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies" target="_blank">Instagram</a>Follow @AlieWard on <a href="https://www.twitter.com/alieward" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward" target="_blank">Instagram</a>Sound editing by <a href="https://twitter.com/stevenRayMorris">Steven Ray Morris</a>, <a href="https://www.maitlandaudio.com/">Mercedes Maitland</a> of <a href="https://www.maitlandaudio.com/">Maitland Audio</a>, and <a href="https://instagram.com/Jarrett_Sleeper">Jarrett Sleeper</a> of <a href="https://www.mindjammedia.com/">MindJam Media</a>Made possible by work from Noel Dilworth, Susan Hale, Kelly R.
