Prior to the level of communication/scientific data collection we have today, within the last 20 to 30 years, Tampa Bay was considered the lightning capital of the world, but I think they've determined otherwise since then. Makes me somewhat happier!

This does not surprise me. I knew a world class burn and trauma doc up in Greeley who told me he'd had a busy weekend one july. As the 4th had been that weekend I asked if he'd been treating fireworks burns and he said no, that they'd all come from a lake up in the foothils where people were swimming and enjoying the weather only to get hit by lightning. Aparently it's not uncommon for lightning to strike out of a sunny sky up there.Originally Posted by Thoth-Amon
