How often does the Eiffel Tower get struck by lightning?

How long can a single bolt of lightning power your house?
Hunting around on Google I found the average lightning strike expends 500,000,000 Joules. That works out to 13,888 kWh. The average American home consumes about 9200 kWH per month. That means the average lightning bolt expends enough energy to power an average home for 45 days!
What happens when lightning hits water?
When lightning strikes, most of electrical discharge occurs near the water’s surface. Most fish swim below the surface and are unaffected. Although scientists don’t know exactly just how deep the lightning discharge reaches in water, it’s very dangerous to be swimming or boating during a thunderstorm.
Can lightning kill you in a lake?
The fields of each bolt are going to dissipate out into the water, but the person is reasonably far away and only their feet provide a path for the lightning to travel through, so they may feel tingling/pain in their feet, but they would not be in much danger from strikes that occur in open water as pictured.
At what temperature do mosquitoes die?

Can a human freeze and come back to life?
Cryonics procedures may begin within minutes of death, and use cryoprotectants to prevent ice formation during cryopreservation. It is, however, not possible for a corpse to be reanimated after undergoing vitrification, as this causes damage to the brain including its neural networks.
Does Cryosleep stop aging?
One thing torpor can’t do is stop astronauts from aging. Hibernating animals do tend to live longer compared with other species similar in size, so it’s possible that torpor would slow human aging a little, but not enough to send people on 100-year jaunts through space.
Can you be frozen when you die?
Boynton Beach company provides ambulance transportation for people who want their bodies frozen in a process called cryonics. Upon death, you can freeze your brain, your head or your entire body. You can be transported by a special vehicle that starts the freezing process immediately.
What is it called when you freeze to death?
An unusually low body temperature is called hypothermia, and the average person will usually not experience this during a stint in the cold, Castellani said. Below 70 degrees Fahrenheit, you are said to have profound hypothermia and death can occur, Sawka said.
What’s the coldest outside temperature a human can survive?
The average body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. At an internal temperature of 95 degrees, humans can experience hypothermia, shivering and pale skin. At 86 degrees, they become unconscious and, at 77 degrees, cardiac arrest can occur. Most people cannot survive if their core temperature drops to 75 degrees.
