cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second. scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. lightning hits the empire state building in new york city 30 to 48 times a year. in the united states alone it kills an average of one person every day. the safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is
