But what you are saying about the density of homes down south is very true. I'm always talking about it. For example the house that was hit in DeLuna last year was a field the years before so if lightning stiked, no one knows about it. Now there are homes there so it's statistically a matter of time where unfortunately we will see more lightning events in these areas.
I’m 2 streets over from that DeLuna home that was hit. It’s nerve wracking every storm we get. A day ago lightning struck at LobLolly golf course near here. Some Deluna residents captured the lightning bolt off in the distance with their phone camera. We definitely heard it hit.
