I live in NorCal outside the SF Bay. Lightening is rare. even rain is rare. we get most of our precipitation from fog. But when it does storm this is what we get. Averages about 1-2 times every 5 years or so.
It amazes me that people still get hit by lightning, but they do. It's such a scary thing. I refuse to go outside whenever it lightning's. The worst thing is the dogs because I won't them out, and that can get ... uh, well, difficult lol
