So it got me a little curious and I looked up some crazy facts about lightning...
*The odds of becoming a lightning victim in the U.S. in any one year is 1 in 700,000. The odds of being struck in your lifetime is 1 in 3,000.
*There are an estimated 25 million lightning flashes in the United States each year.
*During the past 30 years, lightning has killed an average of 66 people per year.
*The primary cause of death from lighting is cardiac arrest.
*Lightning kills more people per year than tornadoes.

I love thunderstorms but lightning scares the crap out of me!!! :)
