how many people get struck by lighting per year?
348490
The last estimate is one person in 600,000. Most countries do not keep tabs, but the U.S. does and you can check with the National Weather Service at www.struckbylightning.org

Yes. Anywhere that there is lightning there is a possibillity for red lighting. Red lightning is caused by, lighting traveling from cloud to cloud. The clouds then distort the color.

Weird question - but I'll take 2 pts. for looking it up on google.  35,893,799 in 2004.  You're going to have to do the math for the rest of the year...

global dimming is a very worrisome factor. By the turn of the next century we will have more dimwits than at any other time in the history of mankind. Already this phenomenon has become a global concern. So many people's brains are dimming.

It is difficult to say with any degree of certainty due to the way deaths are reported in differ ant countries. In the U S only 14 were killed in 2005. World wide, it is estimated to be about 300. It is interesting to note that about ten times as many people are killed world wide by falling Coconuts as by lightning.

In the house I grew up in, lights used to come on in the middle of the nights all the time.  Just randomly all the lights in the living room would turn on then in the kitchen and all the bathrooms.  It was super freaky.

Not that many.  If 70 percent of people were color-blind, it would be normal.

about the same as getting struck by lightning twice during the same storm.

Street lighting requirement varies but on the average lighting underneath the street lamp and one meter above ground should be around 18 lux. However people could see with illumination as low as .5 a lux or even lower. For an office it also varies but sunlight illumination in an office is between 200 to 400 lux. However some offices are illuminated between 200 to 500 lux. Warehouses similarly could be illuminated from 100 to 500 lux depending on the type of a warehouse.
