I’m a Ceraunophile. That’s someone who finds deep comfort and excitement in thunder. Today in Metro Vancouver, I’ve already counted 8 claps of thunder! Each one feels like a reset for my nervous system.
There’s a cool bit of science behind this "sonic boom."
Thunder is actually the sound of air expanding. When lightning strikes, it heats the air to 30,000°C—that's 5 times hotter than the sun. This instant heat makes the air explode outward faster than the speed of sound.
Lightning and thunder are a perfect pair and happen at the exact same time. We only see the flash 1st because light travels much faster than sound. By the time the boom reaches my ears, the light has already cleared the path.
In my system work, I focus on self-respect and regulation. Sometimes we need a sonic boom in our own lives to clear the air. It helps us make space for a new frequency.
Are you a Ceraunophile too?

The word 'serendipity' was coined by Horace Walpole in 1754, inspired by a Persian fairy tale! It's the art of making fortunate discoveries by accident. Do you have any happy word finds? 📖 https://beword.fun #bewordfun #linguistics #wordnerd
