It's said FL is the "lightening capital of the world".........at the "get acquainted" seminars they'll talk about this. They also warn about being outside as well when a storm is approaching. IF you hear thunder (and it can be far away) lightening is a possibility to strike. It astounds me how many golfers are out and the sky is very dark with thunder and they aren't running for cover. No, I don't mean under a tree neither. Years ago, when we lived in the upper midwest, I knew a couple who'd lost loved ones to lightening on a golf course. It was said they went to get out of the rain under a roof (maybe a starter shack) and both got struck and died, leaving a young family. Reports are mixed here, on whether lightening rods are needed. I've read BOTH "for AND against" the need. Maybe call one of the fire stations and ask.
