Sad to hear that. To be honest, lightning freaks me out. I've lived in Colorado almost my whole life and now I live in North Florida. Both places lightning storms can come out of nowhere real quickly. I get indoors fast where I can enjoy the light show and booms from safety.
Lightning scares the heck out of me. Lightning kills more people per year than any other weather phenomena.
When It starts storming around here I always unplug the computer from it's electrical and cable connection.
I used to go to Cocoa Beach to visit the parents in laws and Florida has some really good and scary lightning storms.
North Florida?
I live in Ocala and have heard it called the lightning capital of the world. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but man I've never lived in a place where electrical storms are the given, and not the exception like it is here.
