Keep those great stories rollin'! Speaking of rolling & lightning, we have thunderstorms rolling up from the South. The noon news from my location near Portland Oregon reported 2,500 lightning strikes in Southern Oregon in the last 24 hours resulting in 250 small fires.
I may have an opportunity to tape more lightning tonight, and in the mean time there is some learning to do on lightning detectors they use to compile the maps of location & number of strikes.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
