What is St. Elmo’s Fire?

St. Elmo's Fire

St. Elmo’s Fire is the flash of light that is seen around ships in a thunder storm.  It is an electrical discharge caused by the storm.

St. Elmo’s Fire is the name sailors have given to the sudden glow of ghostly flames that can sometimes be men flickering around ships in stormy weather.

The “fire” is actually a charge of electricity that builds up in the ship as it sails along in the storm.

When enough electricity has built up, the ship discharges its electrical overload into the air in a flesh of light that looks like fire as it fizzes and crackles around the tall masts.

This kind of electricity isn’t strong enough to hurt you – but it may make your fingers tingle.

“St. Elmo” is the nickname of Saint Erasmus, guardian saint of Mediterranean sailors.  They once believe that St. Elmo’s fire was a sign that he was watching over their ships and protecting them during storms.

Sometimes you can see St. Elmo’s Fire on land during thunderstorms, flickering from tail church steeples and treetops. -Dick Rogers

Life is Like Weather

Good day to everyone. I just want to share with you something, and I hope you will like it.

Life is like weather, because life is always changing its status, sometimes, If we have a problem we think that it is a storm to our life. Like weather it’s always changing because we have two kinds of weather sunny and rainy, in the same manner in our life sometimes we experience sunny times or our succeeding days, and we experience cloudy days when we loose a game, or maybe loose someone we really love. It’s been a cloudy day for us because that is what we called dark moments in our life, it serve as a storm that comes to our life. Whatever moments that happens to our life that sometimes is happy and sometimes is sad, we compare it to our weather because weather is like a life that always changeable, but there’s always a time that we will see the sunny days or the succeeding days each time we faced our rainy days or sad moments that comes to our life.
