etudiant Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Aircraft are made of aluminum, so they act as flying Faraday cages, they can be struck by lightning with no internal impact. The wings usually have trailing discharge wicks to leak off any excess charge. The main risk is flying into severe turbulence, so pilots will try to avoid thunderstorms and the associated anvil clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To this day, 51 years later I still think about how I would have been one those people clinging onto to floating debris being pulverized by waves and downed trees and broken houses, boats, etc. I had already wanted to be a meteorologist by the time I was 5. (Never hit that dream...) Now with the right job, you can get paid to be one those people on live TV. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SENC Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 My extreme apologies @ Our ever vigilant MODS.. I'm trying, or WAS trying to convey,, that during Isaias, It came ashore, (landfall), during High tide.. WE ALL saw here on AmericanWx, What happened the few final hours leading up to "Landfall".. I'm at about, 30 +/- feet elevation, Where I reside on the ICW, HERE @ Riches Inlet.. The next morning, I went down to the ICW,, Marsh Grass & Debris was deposited as high as 12 feet ABOVE the High tide line.. Of course OIB & Southport fared even worse.. That said,, Isaias was just Barely a Messy, CAT-1,, quickly getting organized just before landfall.. Storm Surge Took Everyone by surprise! DO NOT discount, Storm Surge with Laura.. (Look,, I'm NOT trying to Hype this upcoming event).. Though a Intensifying Hurricane, Forecasted, By OUR Modeling,, possibly into a Strong Cat-2 or greater,, coming ashore (landfalling).. Should NOT,, be discounted for "Storm Surge" ATM, coming, making Landfall during a Rising High Tide(s).. Across the Area(s) affected.. That is ALL, thank you for understanding.. Mods.. (and everyone else reading this)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and everyone else reading this)... I was wondering about you during Isaias and thought it must have been a nice little event for you. Some people are storm magnets. It’s a shame turtlehurricane and akeem have no such luck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospero Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Thought I saw one, but now I don't. I added the term "displaced" to my storm vocabulary this year. Maybe 2020 is a displaced year altogether...everything is an illusion...what we see now is from 2019 and life shear made it appear in 2020, but it's really 2021 and 2020 is already past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
