		Thunder, thus, starts as a shock wave moving at speeds in excess of the speed of sound.
		Thunder varies in duration and the distance over which it may be heard.
		Thunder propagating from the lowest portions of the lightning bolt, therefore, may not be heard as refraction bends the sound wave upward, causing it to pass over the head of the listener on the surface.

	Weather Elements: Thunder: Voice of the Heavens
		Both agreed that thunder in the east was more favourable than thunder in the west -- perhaps because, since weather generally moves from west to east, thunder to the east means the tempest has passed.
		Lucretius felt that thunder could also be caused by the sound of hail and ice within the cloud crashing together or by the bursting of a cloud when the wind trapped inside escaped, like the popping of a balloon.
		In the mid-seventeenth century, British physicist Robert Hooke deduced that the duration of thunder was dependent upon the distance between the lightning stroke and the observer.

	Chapter Seventeen: The “Thunder Child”. Wells, H.G. 1898. The War of the Worlds
		Keeping his footing on the heaving deck by clutching the bulwarks, my brother looked past this charging leviathan at the Martians again, and he saw the three of them now close together, and standing so far out to sea that their tripod supports were almost entirely submerged.
		The guns of the Thunder Child sounded through the reek, going off one after the other, and one shot splashed the water high close by the steamer, ricocheted towards the other flying ships to the north, and smashed a smack to matchwood.
		At the sight of the Martian’s collapse the captain on the bridge yelled inarticulately, and all the crowding passengers on the steamer’s stern shouted together.

	Child Fears of Thunder, Lightening and Flying
		In the case of thunder and lightening phobias, children who are excessively afraid may carefully monitor the daily weather, and may refuse to participate in activities such as sports or other outdoor activities if there is even the slightest cloud in the sky.
		For example, a child may have been on a turbulent flight where he or she watched a sibling crying about feeling scared, and then saw many shows on television that portrayed plane crashes.
		Recent studies estimate that the probability of dying in a plane crash is 1 in 11 million, whereas the probability of dying in a car crash is 1 in 5,000.

	Torpedo ram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While never popular with the naval services that created them, the torpedo ram can be said to have caught public attention in a manner which far exceeded its utility as a concept for a fighting ship.
		Wells's science-fiction classic The War of the Worlds was a torpedo ram, and she destroyed two Martian Tripods see Sacrifice of Thunder Child.
		It has been suggested by some that, in view of the limited military value the torpedo ram demonstrated, Wells's immortalization of the type in what would become a literary classic was the torpedo ram's greatest achievement.

		The stories of these two men show the often opposing forces at work in law enforcement: on the one hand is the desire that most people have to get rid of child pornography – the makers, the abusers and the voyeurs.
		And on the other is the fundamental principle of our legal system: the need and the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty.

		There are so many anomalies about Wells's description of the Thunder Child that she doesn't fit any existing warship of that period.
		He calls her a torpedo ram, which implies that she's similar to the Polyphemous but not a battleship; but then he also calls her an ironclad, which the Polyphemous certainly was not but which battleships were.
		Most artists tend to model the Thunder Child on existing battleship types, which is fair enough.
