Correct. I think there was a strike on Kline St. also that didn’t cause a fire.

That prolonged electrical storm was so scary! So much lightning and thunder. I was so relieved when it stopped.

That’s correct. Attached is a link to an article about the fires.

Lightning strike causes house fires in The Villages

Len Hathaway (Villages Lighting expert) will give the details today, July 22, at 1 PM at Bridgeport Rec Center -- prior to the scheduled Science & Technology presentation about Hurricanes.

Just my second summer here, but so far this year, seems lightning storms have been longer and more intense than last summer. I track lightning activity on the “weather bug” app, and so far this summer, we have had two major lightning storms that seemed to have stalled for over an hour above the Brownwood/Richmond/Lake Okahumpka part of TV.

Please stop generating false narratives. This “global warming” is a false narrative. I have way too much data to prove this false. The earths temp has actually dropped the last several hundred years. That’s hardly “warming”. Earth has been around for billions of years, gone thru many a change. Humans have been here for what, 100,000 years max. Our Industrial revolution for the proverbial drop in the bucket. No deal, green or otherwise, will make a difference.

Correct.

Very sad indeed.

Do homes in St. Charles have gas lines in the attic?

Dusty Star....go to **************.com for the article

For a sense of the overwhelming power of a lightning strike search YouTube for “lightning strikes water”. Frightening to say the least.

That wasn't one of those alligator lizards in the air, was it?

The wifey almost hit the floor whilst watching when one of the booms landed *very* close.

And DeLuna. Saturday night was terrifying to me as a Californian who’s never experienced anything like that in my life. We were watching an episode of The Boys on Prime which was a very intense plane hijacking scene, and I had to tell my husband we needed to pause the show until the storm ended because my adrenaline was sky high because of the show and the storm combined.

Wish I could. Sounds fascinating. Would really appreciate if it could be recorded and shared.

Help me to understand your data please. Why are the glaciers melting so quickly and why is the Alaskan hwy crumbling for the first time ever due to the melting foundation underneath. Canadian guides remind us that we are still at the end of the ice age meaning that the earth is still warming. And why does the channel 6 weather man say the Florida coastline is sinking due to rising water from warming temps?

I’m not criticizing your stance, just appreciate hearing both sides of the issue.
