This
is the time of year that afternoon rain and thunderstorms are common, and
lightning can pose a real danger in Florida.
Florida is known for being the deadliest
state in the country for lightning strikes.
So far this year there have been nine deaths by lightning
in the U.S., four of those have happened in Florida.
According to the National Weather Service, the four people
killed by lightning in Florida were in Manatee County, Daytona Beach,
Boynton Beach and Hobe Sound.
And those people were doing everyday things like working
in the yard or enjoying a family picnic.
One of the most dangerous things you can do
during a lightning storm is be fishing.
Lightning can strike from 10 miles away, so
if you can hear thunder, you are in danger of being struck by lightning.
The only safe places to be during a
thunderstorm are in a building or in a car.
