Xpost link works now, I had to copy using the Share/Copy from the Xpost itself instead of copy/pasting from the address link.
edit: I'm trying to get the other Xpost link to work, but it's not loading for some reason, I'll try again in the morning, maybe X is doing server maintenance right now because it's late.
That tweet is utter bullshit. Florida is known as the lightning capital of the world. You are also looking at the outer bands where lightning is normally produced. More severe storms can produce 60 to 500 fpm, flashes per minute, according to the Lightning Imaging Sensor Demonstration and Display system.
Florida has an average of 295 lightning events per square mile, and "Vaisala's National Lightning Detection Network detected 474 lightning events per square mile in Four Corners" (intersection of Lake, Polk, Orange and Osceola counties)
" making it the lightning capital of Florida –and the country". Welcome to the sub-tropics.
