Summary

[edit]
Description

NPS/Patrick Myers

Lightning evokes power, brilliance, and supernatural wrath to people throughout the world. A large lightning bolt is 50,000F degrees - hotter than the surface of the sun - and forms "fulgurites," tubes of dark glass on the sand. These pieces of "petrified lightning" are stormy testaments that the dunes can be a wild place of extreme conditions. Try to plan your dunes time for morning hours to avoid 150F degree sand or thunderstorms with lightning and high winds. Evenings can also be pleasant as long as the storms have passed through.
