More than 300 wild reindeer have been killed by lighting in central Norway in what wildlife officials are calling an unusually large natural disaster.

The Norwegian Environment Agency has released eerie images showing a jumble of reindeer carcasses scattered across a small area on the Hardangervidda mountain plateau. The agency says 323 animals were killed, including 70 calves, in the lightning storm Friday.

Do most bolts have some universal current?... or are some strikes more powerful than others? Cause it doesn't make sense that one bolt can kill multiple living things close to the size of a human, but not kill some humans.

I'm not a scientist, but I imagine so....like with static shocks

apart from topsy, I don't think edison ever did experiments electrocuting animals to see how much juice it took to kill them

Electrical currents run through the ground for a distance, depending on the current, but most Earth and materials we use for turf, roads, or sidewalks aren't very good conductors. Most everything in nature conducts electricity fairly well, except for really dense things like rocks. A power line from a standard telephone pole carries enough energy to shock you through the ground, albeit from a pretty close distance. Lightning bolts carry enough energy to disintegrate wooden telephone poles, I imagine that energy would have no problems with dirt and grass. The strike in OP's post was more than likely more than one bolt in quick succession, but deer stay in tight groups so it isn't out of the question to have been only one strike.

What exactly kills the organism in a lightning strike? Does the electric current stop the heart? Or does it just instantly annihilate the brain? Like what is the direct cause of the death?

yes

Heartbeat is an electrical rhythm. Current through the heart muscle causes "atrial fibrillation" - "a-fib" - irregular heartbeat - or stops it entirely. Immediate CPR required, AED if available.

Hiding under a tree seems like suicide but I've heard that staying on an open field is even worse.

I was on a school camp when a lightning storm passed right over where we had set up camp. A bolt hit the ground 200m away.
They just made us sit on our foam mattresses as insulation till it passed us by.

I actually have a bad weather experience so bad it could actually get me identified as a 4chan user. so I can't say much. but let's just say I did not expect a storm surge a full day before the hurricane.

other thqn that, one time I was in a field and it started hailing. like golf ball size fuckers. we ran for the trees, then branches started falling. luckily pine branches are light.

last year i was sleeping wih my doggos innawoods.

4 days in the weather got really bad, i had to switch from my small small kohte to a more stormproof construction.
than on the 5th night the worst thunderstorm i ever witnessed.

rain that flooded the ground, wind that made my already stormproof tent construction collapse.
and lighting that turned night into day for brief moments.
i got out of my sleepingbag and attached the leashes of my frightend puppers to my belt, just as a lightning struck a tree a few hundred feed ahead.
the oaktree exploaded with the force of a small bomb. my labrador boy jumped away, only ot be stopped by the leash ob my belt.
my sheppy girl was shaking and looked at me in terror. my buxerboy hid behind my legs.
i decided to leave my stuff, grabbed my puppers and ran for my life. to get out of the woods.
i witnessed 2 more exploding trees on my way out. i nearly shat myself.

i spent 3 hours laying in the cold soaked dirt of a field cuddling and calming my shaking dogs, while the roaring tempest raged.

i returned to my camp the next morning.
most of my stuff was wet and my tent construction was completely flattend.
my dogs were stlll in shock and very nervous for a few days.

i packed my stuff and we went home.
nearly died that night.

i am looking forward to go camping in the same woods this fall.

hopefully with better weather.

My mother was actually at Hardangervidda during this event.

Story tiem.

I live on an island in western Norway, where storms and rain are bountiful. During the summer, however, we (contrary to popular belief) get some pretty warm days, which leads to copious amounts of thunderstorms. About 10-15 years or so back, we had a really nice summer. This evening, me, my cousin and a couple of friends went over the bay in two boats to play with a water trampoline (imagine a trampoline, but inflatable and on water... also, it's not bouncy at all) at my friends place. In the distance across the fjord, we can see some sporadic lightning, and dark clouds are moving to the west (away from us).

We're playing and having fun, when suddenly the western sky grows dark. The storm has turned around, and we're now smack dab in the middle of its trajectory. The smart decision, and my immediate idea, is to stay as close to land as possible. However, on the other side of the bay my family was having a beach party and saw what was coming. My aunt rang me, believing we were out in the actual fjord, and told us to get back to their place.

We got in the two boats, my cousin and I in mine, and I told the two other guys in the other boat to stay close to land. They chose, however, to go directly from A to B, which meant crossing relatively open water. After a couple of hundred meters, a super cell hit. Suddenly, we're hitting Beaufort 12, and lightning all around us. Shit is fucked up, and I can't do anything but laugh as I see the other boat going straight for land.

One house was struck a mere 200 meters from us, and the lightning completely blew up the chimney.

I'll attach a map of the area.

After that event, I've learned to respect both the sea and the dangers of weather.

Thunderstorms are unicorn rare in Norway, and even more so in the west. Why are you lying on a Siamese masochist fetish Board?

Second, I guess copious amounts might be overstating it, but compared to the rest of the seasons, thunderstorm frequency skyrockets around summertime (especially late summer).

they tested all the adult animals for Chronic Wasting Disease (a disease that might be spreading here in Norway, and is common in north america)

they removed their heads and brought them with because they need the brain to check for this disease

I'd wager that the substrate the deer were congregated on was mafic enough to conduct electricity through the general area before dissipation. Looking at the photo and aside from the obvious lichen, the rock looks like gabbro or perhaps even diabase which is rich in iron.

we were told years ago that 100 milliamps (0.1 amp) across ones heart would suffice to stop it and i believe that number has since been revised downward. your average coffeemaker uses about 9 amps.
An average bolt of negative lightning carries an electric current of 30,000 amperes (per wikipedia)
