My guess: More active storm season this year combined with dense housing development. There is more lightning and it is going to hit somewhere. With houses blanketing a large portion of the area, the chances are high that it will hit a house.
Two years ago we had regular afternoon thunderstorms. Last year we had few. This year they seem to be more active.
