We moved here from Southern Florida, where the storms are extremely intense and still this is very different.
See today's posts for Intense lightning storm 2024-7-20 for more information. Also see the poa4us.org web site and select the Bulletin Tab for the July issue and page 14 for an article on the lightning issues we face living here in the Lightning Capital of the USA.
