More specifically, the Pocono Mountains.
Kinda - When the lightning hits the posts, the lightning comes into contact with the sand, and it makes glass. The glass doesn't come out in those shapes, he blows the glass to make them. **I'm sure you can find items to buy on
Although your batteries are removed, smoke detectors still contained something called a capacitor. It's a little thing that stores a small electrical charge over time. It's used in smoke detectors as yet another added safety feature to insure your smoke detector lasts as long as it possibly can in the case of an emergency. If they're bothering you still while in the garage, press and hold the test button for a little bit with the batteries out until they stop squealing.
Kwikset is a great brand and Schlage is very comparable!!
It really is sad that people who know nothing about the subject they're replying to offer answers that only serve to confuse askers. All the answers about capacitors serving as small batteries are right. Transistors can be amplifiers, oscillators, or switches, but they can only use or pass electricity, not store it.
It sounds like the detectors have a 'back-up' battery which chirps to remind you that the power source battery has died and to protect you if the battery is dead and there is a fire.
