This area of central Florida is the lightning capital of the U.S.
Exactly, Gracie. Lightning is for real here in Florida. By the time a hurricane hits here in Central Florida it has lost a lot of its force---people are evacuated to Central Florida from the coast to get away from the hurricanes.

A hurricane can cause damage to your home but you will be safe. Lightning or a tornado are much more dangerous.
