How did a lightning strike take out all these deers?
"More than 320 wild reindeer have been found dead after a single lightning strike struck a mountain plateau in southern Norway, local officials say, making it deadliest lightning strike ever recorded. (more)

A. It was a really big lightning bolt
B. They all had simulataenous heart attacks due to how close and loud it was
C. They were standing on material that was conductive
D. Herd Shock followed by exposure/predators.
that's a shit load of deers
Imagine being the dude who happened to come across them.

Friend.
Charge travels through the Earth you know.
can you draw what it looked like
>>8306446
cover up for chemical weapon test. Similar things happened when they tested anthrax in remote scotland.
>>8306446
It's marketing for the new Thor movie
>>8306446
There's two possibilities here:
>1.) God/Thor/Zeus/One of the Elder gods is pissed of with humanity and is signalling the end times.
>2.) They were stood in a wet field, and it was a particularly big lightening strike.
I know which one I believe.
>>8307445
I know right? It's preposterous to think that a lightning bolt could be that big without divine intervention.
>>8306446
I guess Jesus came back and drove another herd of animals to suicide.
>>8307445
If the lightning bolt hits the wet ground it's already earthed. So it wouldn't hurt the deer.
It would have to branch out before it hit the ground. If the deer were wet, then they would have a lower resistance than the air around them.
Also, the deer would have to all be roughly the same size. That means they would draw an equal amount of current from the lightning strike, encouraging it to distribute current between them (because none of the deer is the "weak link")
>>8306463
or a small possibility of
E. some human autismo went around electrocuting deer
>>8306446
Look at where it is: big open field. The deer where the best paths to ground and they where all pretty much the same so they made a huge resistor network for the lightning.
>>8306481
I think I've seen enough horror movies to know to calmly GTFO of there.
(Or look for a flat mountain top with an alien ship landing on it.)
>>8307539
F. More than one lightning bolt.
(I know I know, "cuz the same place isn't there anymore," yadda yadda...)
G. One of the deer was advocating for gay marriage.
I'd fuck one and so would you. So would all of us. So would the guy who took that picture.
Lightning is an AoE magic
>>8306446
they were all touching each other roughly and it went through all of them.
>>8307539
I'm gonna roll with this one
Last words of deer leader.
"Now, everybody hold hands!"

Gary Larson, is that you?
Because I'd like to return a mug. And a t-shirt.

Pretty simple, desu

Why do you keep calling people Desu?

To be honest, I have no idea senpai.

It's one underage b& autist. They post in that /sci/ slack thing.

>100,000,000 volts traveling radially across the ground

unfortunately for quadrupeds, the heart is right in the middle of the electrical pathway.
>>8307882
G-good t-thing we're bipeds r-right guys?
>saw this in international news
hard to imagine a lightning strike
(must have been multiple) killing
all those animals
>>8308094
Yeah, cuz then it's just your balls that get welded together.
>>8307421
this, its highly unlikely that the deer would all be together the chances at an amount that high doesnt make sense since when are lightning bolts this large either. Definitely smells covert op

Did you not play CoD: Black Ops 2? Lightning Strike = name for 'bombs dropped from planes'
>>8306463
>B. They all had simulataenous heart attacks due to how close and loud it was
fucking kek
>>8306446
Conductivity
Is someone had put a portable Tesla coil out there and fired it up when the deer were chilling around it, would scientists ever be able to figure it out?
Or would it be impossible for them to tell the difference between something that got fucked up by lightning and something that got fucked up by a Tesla coil?
Full disclosure: my entire knowledge of Tesla Coils is based on how they behave in Command and Conquer: Red Alert.
>>8310348
>300 deer dead
>10,000 deer in entire herd
>>8310357
That's because the red deers don't get zapped
Maybe their antlers acted like lightning rods and the lightning zapped them all dead?
>>8306446
They pissed off Thor.
>>8310242
It's scary, I had a bolt hit bout fiddy feet away once and spilt my tea, semlt the burnin ozone and almost died of heart attack. They were obviously horded out of fright and the bolt done kilt them.
>>8310511
My grams (RIP) was watching a storm out a window, saw a lightning bolt hit a tree, from which it bounded, went through the window, and melted the frame on her glasses when she was young. Knocked her on her ass and left a scar, but she lived.
Lightning does shit you wouldn't expect it to sometimes.
