For the first time, scientists were able to show they can bend lightning from a storm with a laser. The project, 20 years in the making, required a super powerful laser to be shot into the sky. A powerful laser was able to deflect a lightning bolt almost 200 feet before it hit a lightning rod, greatly improving the rod's function. The Laser Lightning Rod is seen in place on top of a Swiss mountain.

For example, while most airlines will book you on the next available flight, it may not depart for days. If you decide to switch airlines, be ready to pay a pretty penny — if you can even find a flight out. Using travel insurance to recoup costsTravel insurance purchases are up 9% for trips this 4th of July compared to last year, according to data shared with CNN by InsureMyTrip, a travel insurance marketplace. A lot of travel policies will cover expenses you incur from a flight that was canceled due to weather conditions, said Meghan Walch, director of product for InsureMyTrip. In most cases you must pay for those expenses upfront and file a claim later to receive reimbursement, Walch told CNN.
