And That day was very mild for this area... that was a few bolts... we can have literally 1000's of bolts per hour in the area on a bad day... and we pretty much can count on thunder storms every afternoon... somewhere in the area..

The thing that bothers me about that is that people around here get struck by lightning from storm clouds up to 20 miles away... you can be in the sun, not a raindrop around and still get whacked!... that being said... the drive to the beach is the most dangerous part of the day.
