Wow, that is really interesting! I didn't know that Florida had the most lightning strikes. I always thought it would be somewhere like Oklahoma or Kansas because of their reputation for severe weather. Do you know why Florida has the most lightning strikes? Is it because of its location or some other factor? I'm curious to learn more about this.
