I wondered if that's how you saw it. I saw a lot of the comments on that video talking about how that's how they found out about it. I'm still in the early part of season 1 so I didn't see the reference yet in season 2. For a lot of shows like that I often like to make sure they don't end on a cliffhanger before getting too invested. Then I'll watch multiple seasons. Too many shows like that I've watched only for it to end early and have no resolution.

Our sea breezes here in Florida used to give us thunderstorms during the summer around the same time many days. I don't think they work how they used to in the past 15 years. I think development in the region may have altered the pattern enough so they don't quite get to me like they used to. They are often just a few miles away and then move away from me.

I knew my region was number one in the U.S., and thought parts of Africa had the highest in the world. I guess it depends how you measure it to some extent, with high values in parts of India, Congo and Venezuela.

I don't mind rain, but I really don't like lightning. It's struck around my house several times. Once it destroyed a neighbor's chimney and took out various appliances in people's houses. Once it struck the light pole in front of my house. In various strikes over the decades I've lost my doorbell, intercom system throughout the house, one computer and one modem. Some surge protectors too, which are more surge suppressors and really not much of a match I think depending on where the strike was. Though I still have TVs and computers on them. And if it gets too bad, I unplug things. I also saw lightning hit a tree across the canal from my house once. I just happened to be looking out the window at the time. Where the lightning struck on the tree glowed very briefly, though it didn't catch fire.

I was also in Tennessee at my grandmother's house once and lightning struck her shed, taking off a tiny bit of the roof. It's like it followed me! I had just got there I think and must not have known it was going to rain because I was just about to take a shower. I was in an interior bathroom and it was the first strike I heard of the storm.
