Summer Thunderstorm Risk This Weekend

     

With a chance of thunderstorms in the forecast through the weekend, New Yorkers should be prepared. Remember, the safest place to be during a thunderstorm is indoors. Postpone outdoor activities and take cover if thunderstorms are imminent. If you must travel, avoid flooded roadways. Read more about thunderstorms and NYC

Regardless of their severity, all thunderstorms are dangerous. Every thunderstorm produces lightning, which kills more people each year than tornadoes. Strong winds, hail, flooding, and tornadoes are other dangers associated with thunderstorms. A typical thunderstorm is 15 miles in diameter and lasts an average of 20 to 30 minutes. Of the 100,000 thunderstorms that occur every year in the United States, only about 10 percent are classified as "severe." Lightning strikes the Empire State Building and World Trade Centers simultaneously during a 1979 storm. (Photo: AP) NYC Lightning Facts According to the National Weather Service, the Empire State Building is hit by lightning an average of 23 times per year. In one storm, it was hit eight times in 24 minutes.   New York State is considered to have a "moderate" occurrence of lightning, with 3.8 strikes occurring per square mile each year. This compares to 20 per square mile in Florida, and two in California. NYC Lightning History In August 2004, a college couple were killed when they stepped out of their car into a flooded roadway in College Point that had been electrified by a powerline downed by lightning. In July 2004, lightning ignited a 6-alarm fire in a mattress factory in Bushwick. In August 2002, a 25-year-old Manhattan man was killed, and a 24-year-old woman injured while watching an electrical storm from the roof of a four-story building on Broome Street in Chinatown. In June 2000, a severe storm resulted in five injuries when lightning struck a tent set up on Old Fulton and Everett Streets in Brooklyn. In August 1996, lightning struck the newly-constructed recreational pier at Tiffany Street in the South Bronx. The pier, which was constructed months earlier using material from recycled soda bottles, melted as a result. In August 1994, seven people were struck and injured at Coney Island beach, including a young girl who suffered serious injuries. In June 1994, a man was struck and killed and seven others injured when lightning struck at Neponsit Beach in Queens. In 1977, a blackout caused by multiple lightning hits on a main transmission line north of the City plunged most of New York's neighborhoods into darkness for up to 25 hours. National Weather Service Terms SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH: Conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING: Issued when a thunderstorm produces hail 3/4 of an inch or larger in diameter and/or winds which equal or exceed 58 mph. Lightning and Thunderstorm Safety Tips While lightning can be fascinating to watch, it is also extremely dangerous. Lightning causes an average of 67 fatalities and 300 injuries each year. The safest place to be during a thunderstorm is indoors. Postpone outdoor activities if thunderstorms are imminent. Remember the 30/30 Rule. If you see lightning, count the seconds before you hear thunder. If it's less than 30 seconds, take cover. Once indoors, wait 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder before venturing back out. IF YOU ARE IN A HOUSE OR BUILDING: Do not use the telephone or any electrical appliance connected to the building's electrical wiring. Do not use showers, sinks, or any object, machine, or device connected to the building's plumbing system. If lightning strikes the building, the current will likely flow through either the electrical wiring or the water pipes, and you could receive a fatal shock. Automobiles can also protect you from a lightning strike because the current will flow through the car's metal frame. If you are in a car, do not touch any exposed metal connected to the car. Remember, indoors means indoors. Structures like bus shelters or any small non-metal structures do not provide sufficient lightning protection. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT OUTSIDE DURING A THUNDERSTORM: Stay away from tall, isolated objects like trees, flagpoles or posts, and avoid large open areas like fields or parking lots where you are the highest object. Stay away from lakes, ponds, railroad tracks, and fences, which could carry current from a distant lightning strike. If there is no shelter, crouch down, grab your ankles and bend forward, so that your head is not the highest part of your body and your head does not touch the ground. Do not lie flat on the ground. If lightning is about to strike you or something extremely close, you may experience a tingling feeling on your skin and/or your hair may stand on end. If this occurs, quickly assume the position described above. Even if you are caught outside in a thunderstorm, do not panic. You will likely find sufficient shelter. WHAT TO DO IF SOMEONE IS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING: Call for help. Call 911 or your local ambulance service. Get medical attention as quickly as possible. Give first aid. If the victim has stopped breathing, begin rescue breathing. If the heart has stopped beating, a trained person should give CPR. If the person has a pulse and is breathing, address any other injuries. For information on how to learn CPR, contact your local chapter of the American Red Cross. Check for burns in two places. The injured person has received an electric shock and may be burned, both where they were struck and where the electricity left their body. Being struck by lightning can also cause nervous system damage, broken bones, and loss of hearing or eyesight. People struck by lightning carry no electrical charge that can shock other people. You can examine them without risk. Preparing for a Severe Thunderstorm Downbursts and winds associated with severe thunderstorms can produce 100-150 mph winds. The resulting damage can equal that of most tornadoes. If a severe thunderstorm warning is issued: Take shelter. Pay attention to local weather forecasts and bulletins issued by the National Weather Service on local radio stations. Shutter windows securely and brace outside doors. Secure outdoor objects such as lawn furniture or garbage cans that could blow away and cause damage or injury. In extreme conditions, consider shutting off power and appliance gas switches to prevent damage to your appliances. Make sure your Household Disaster Plan and Emergency Supply Kit are ready to go. Safety Tips for Driving During a Thunderstorm or Heavy Rain Turn on your lights. Pull onto the shoulder of the road and stop, making sure you are away from trees or other tall objects that could fall on your vehicle. Stay in the car and turn on the hazard lights until the heavy rain subsides. Listen to your car radio and be alert. Avoid contact with metal or conducting surfaces outside the inside the vehicle. Lightning that strikes nearby can travel through wet ground to your car. Avoid flooded roadways. The depth of water is not always obvious. If you find yourself in a skid, remain calm, ease your foot off the gas pedal and steer in the direction you want the front of the car to go. If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, brake firmly as you steer into the skid. If your vehicle does not have anti-lock brakes, avoid using your brakes. To avoid hydroplaning — which occurs when the water in front of your tires builds up faster than your car's weight can push it out of the way — do not brake or turn suddenly. This could throw the vehicle into a skid. Ease your foot off the gas until the car slows and you can feel the road again.

Where does the Neshama come from and where does it go?

By Yaakov Sandler  

It doesn’t tell us anywhere in the written Torah what happens before or after life, but we have many other sources that give us a clear picture.

Rebbi Tanchum Bar Abba lived approximately 1500 years ago.  He was part of the chain of the Oral tradition – he learned from his Rabbi and taught what he learned to his students.  The following Medrash is taken from Medrash Tanchuma which is a compilation of teachings that were heard in the name of Rebbi Tanchum Bar Abba……..

Medrash Tanchuma Parshat Pikudei Chapter 3.

(I have skipped several sections of this very long Medrash to keep it short)……

When a woman conceives, Hashem appoints an angel to watch over the Fetus for the duration of the pregnancy.

Hashem knows whether the baby will be a boy or a girl, whether he/she will be weak or strong, rich or poor, short or tall, ugly or beautiful, fat or thin.  But, whether the person will do good or bad, that is in the hands of the person.

Hashem signals to the Angel that is appointed over the Neshamas, and says to him “bring Me that Neshama (He calls the Neshama by his name) from the world of the Neshamas.”  The Angel brings the Neshama to Hashem.  When the Neshama is brought before Hashem it bows down to Hashem in complete awe.  Hashem tells the Neshama to enter inside the fetus.  The Neshama says to Hashem “Master of the Universe, I was happy being in the world of Neshamas, why do you want me to go inside that earthly body? - I am holy and pure, I have come from a place that is way beyond the physical world.”  Immediately Hashem forces the soul into the body against his will, and appoints 2 Angels to guard over him, and a spiritual candle is lit above his head.

The Neshama is able to see from one end of the world to the other.  The Angel shows him the place where all the Tzadikim go and he sees them sitting there in honor with their crowns on their heads, enjoying pleasures that cannot even be compared to the pleasures that we have in this world.

The Angel asks the Neshama – Do you know who these are?

The Neshama replies – No.

The Angel explains – These that you see were created just like you in the womb of their mother, they came into the world and they kept the Torah and the Mitzvot, therefore they are worthy of the great reward that you see they are enjoying. You should know, soon you will go into the world.  If you are worthy and you do good deeds, you also will receive the great reward that these Tzadikim are receiving.

In the evening the Angel takes the Neshama to another place where all the evil people are.  Angels of destruction are beating them with fiery staffs without mercy.

The Angel says to the Neshama – do you know who these are?

The Neshama replies – No.

The Angel explains – These are the evil doers.  They were created just like you were and they came into the world and they did terrible evil things.  Therefore, they are suffering this terrible torment.

……In the end you will go out into the world, be a Tzadik and turn away from doing wrong so that you will be worthy of the world to come.

The fetus remains in its mother’s womb for 9 months, when the time comes for it to come into the world, the same Angel comes and says to him – Your time has come, the time for you to go into the world.

He replies to the Angel – Why do you want me to go out into the world?

The Angel says to him – Know my son, that against your will you were created, and against your will you are born, against your will you will die and against your will you will be asked to give an accounting of all of your deeds before the King of all Kings.

But he doesn’t want to leave the womb until he is kicked out, the spiritual candle is blown out and they force him into the world against his will.

Immediately, the baby forgets everything that he knew.

Why does a baby cry when he is born?  Because he was kicked out from his comfortable place and he is severed from the world that he came out from.

On the last day of his life in this world the very same Angel comes and asks him – Do you remember me?

He replies – Yes! Why do you come here today?

The Angel replies – In order to take you out of the world, because the time for you to pass on from this world has arrived.

Immediately he begins to cry and his cries can be heard from one end of the world to the other. It’s not a cry that living creatures hear or understand.

He says to the Angel – But you already took me away from 2 worlds and you put me in this world (The world of the Neshamas and the world inside the mother’s womb).

The Angel replies to him – Didn’t I already explain to you, against your will you were created, against your will you were born, against your will you live, against your will you die and against your will you will be asked to give an accounting before the King of all Kings.

We cannot imagine the pleasure that our Neshama will receive in the next world from doing even the smallest Mitzva in this world.  Whether we go out of our way to help a friend, or do a Mitzva that doesn’t seem to have any meaning or value to us, we are doing something that is way above the physical realms of this world.

Do a small Mitzva TODAY and take pleasure in the fact that you are doing something that has eternal value.  Eternal means forever - and that’s a very long time!
