Hi allerseits, grad aufgeschnappt, weiß wie immer keinen thread zum reinposten [:]
52 Kühe von einem einzigen Blitz erschlagen
Kurz gesagt gehts in dem Artikel darum daß die erschlagene Kuhherde in Uruguay am vergangenen Mittwoch bei einem kräftigen Gewitter allesamt mit dem Hintern zum Zaun gestanden sind, der Blitz dann in diesen einschlug und alle 52 tötete. Da war doch auch was mit vom Blitz erschlagenen Vieh diesen Sommer nahe Freiburg/D die Rede wenn ich mich recht entsinne...
Kühle Grüße aus Konstanz

Hoi Ralph
Hier noch ein Artikel, den ich aus meinem Archiv noch ausgegraben habe und in der Zeitung "New Vision" am 21.09.08 veröffentlicht wurde. In Uganda wurden am 18. Sep. 2008 53 Kühe von einem Blitz getötet - und in einer Schule 27 Kinder von einem Blitz zum Teil schwer verletzt und einen Monat zuvor 3 getötet:
Uganda: Lightning Kills 53 Cattle
New Vision (Kampala), 18 September 2008 (Posted to the web 19 September 2008), Luke Kagiri and Fred Turyakira, Kampala
A total of 53 head of cattle were killed by lightning on Wednesday at Katosi in Kiganda sub-county, Mubende district.
The animals belonged to the assistant chief administrative officer of Mubende district, Denis Ssebunya.
Ssebunya said only 20 of his cattle survived on the farm. "I could not believe it. The trees emained standing and green but the cows underneath them died. It was not even a fierce storm," he said.
On Thursday morning, Ssebunya proposed burying the cows. But the residents opted to bring in a traditional medicineman, who performed some rituals at the scene. They then skinned the animals and shared the meat.
No other property or animal was destroyed in the village by the lightning. Mubende Resident District Commissioner Stephen Nsubuga Bewaayo, who visited the farm, regretted the loss.
"It is unfortunate. It is a great loss to the proprietor of this farm. We believe it is lightning and nothing else," he said.
In a separate incident, 27 pupils of Karungi Primary School in Masha sub-county, Isingiro district sustained injuries when lightning struck their school on Wednesday. The wounded, some in critical condition, were rushed to Mbarara referral hospital.
The headmaster of the school, Moses Kasozi, said they were struck by the lightning when they took shelter from rain in the classrooms in the early afternoon. He said the downpour lasted for almost one hour. The pupils, who were visibly in agony at the hospital, were hit in the chest, legs, head, shoulders and some were vomiting. He said the pupils were shocked, with some unable to walk or talk. He said nothing was destroyed in the classrooms and other pupils were able to continue with their studies.
The incident comes hardly a month after lightning killed three children in Kyamuswa sub-county, Kalangala district. The children were part of a bigger group that had sought shelter under a veranda when lightning struck, killing them instantly
Most schools in Uganda have not installed lightning conductors on buildings.
Obwohl Uganda zu den Ländern gehört, welche die höchste Gewitter- und Blitzaktivität aufweist, sind die Präventivmassnahmen (Blitzschutz) gering...... - no comment....
Hier noch ein Link zum "Telegraph", wo beide Ereignisse (Uruguay und Uganda) erwähnt sind:

Meiner Meinung nach gehen aber die Statistiker ein bischen gar grosszügig mit den Nullen um
. Jährlich 100'000 Stürme alleine in Amerika....? Fantastische Auswahl, hehe! Nix mehr weit fahren und so. Da wäre das sog. "Pantoffel-Chasing" vor die Haustüre angesagt - Kamera auf Automatik stellen, rein in die Hängematte, 'n Bierchen aus dem Kühlschrank, gemütlich ein Pfeiffchen anzünden und dem Gewitter zuschauen! Echtes Chasing? Naja!
