LaContessa, Driving back from the coast in Queensland one evening we had a panoramic view and could see five lightning strikes at once across the horizon. Incredible!

I used to love electrical storms growing up in New Jersey. Northern California rarely had them. Then I moved to Florida. OMG, the storms here are wicked. Lightening bolts occur so much, I don't go out in them, not even drive. Florida is the lightening capital of the nation because there are no mountains, or even hills to break up the landscape & bolts of lightening have nothing to hit but flat land and people walking around. Very scary here!

love a good storm and listening to wind and rain :-)

Dogs in the Rep of Congo must not be very calm. Mine FREAKS out during lighting/ thunder storms. ⛈ Poor puppies

ellavision1, that is very true. but it would also be bad because humans will make horrible decisions and weapons from it.

Otrovago, This is in Venezuela, it is a natural phenomenon that happens every day, all day, although of course you can only see it at night.
Otrovago
That lake is at Zulia State in Venezuela. South America.

Holder of the Guinness World Record as the place with the highest concentration of lightning, South America's largest lake receives an average of 233 flashes per square kilometer every year, according to NASA—thousands per night.

ellavision1, We will have to harness it if Bernie gets his way. There'll be NO FOSSIL FUELs, or Nuclear energy. & NO Airplanes & Rationing of all Energy. I hope you're RICH.... But, Maybe Bernie will figure out a way to harness Lightning???

KrispyFlamingo78325, when I was a kid I loved lightning storms, now they scare the he'll out of me, but still enjoy them

MRJones LSP, ummm I don't know where you got your numbers, but the question is correct.

Canis Lupus, Don't you mean Tornado Alley?

Player #3748832, Read message from frou frou quail above how you can help your dog...Google will give clues what to do..cd's , thunder coats and strapping etc. Your dog is worth it.
FrouFrouQuail20037
KrispyFlamingo78325, Me too until I saw an injured dog that had tried to find escape from thunder. There are steps to take to desensitize your pets... CD's, thunder coats etc. Check out Google. Be a hero for these noble creatures..No human will ever love you as much without agendas.
Canis Lupus
KrispyFlamingo78325, I live in Toronado Alley...not exhilarating here.

Player #3834770, is it an ENTITY as well. (sorry doll face. i have refrained from commenting on spelling, grammar, and punctuation for quite a long time and now I'm having a little attack.)

Lorraine4748, I understand your sentiment. For some of this however the power of a display in nature is and bead relaxing and at once rejuvenating.
