Thunderstorms and lightening are worldwide. See the Bible for reference.

Psalm 29 describes a thunderstorm over the Golan Heights.

Why would they think it was odd?

I’m sure there are.

But I was listening to a Brit talking about USA weather. he said that here the weather is more extreme.....like TORNADOS and HURRUCANES and other odd weather things.

You said that Colorado thunder storms are the worst. No way. North Georgia storms are much more severe.

Ben Franklin thought it was good kite-flying weather....of course, they had 100 years to get used to it by then...

Well, everyone is going to vow for their own region. I’m in East Alabama, not that far way from North Georgia.

So I looked it up, and found an article based on analyzed data. Maps, charts, and facts galore:

We’re both wrong.
