Spark. A photo of lightning taken at the blue hour in Florida. Florida is the Lightning capital of the world. Unlike many places where playing outside in the rain is welcome and encouraged, in Florida it often involves danger of being struck by lightning. The most dangerous lightning is typically the lightning that comes to an area ahead of the storm. These are often the strongest strikes and can cause the most damage. A friend of mine in high school actually died from being struck by lightning at the beach while the storm was still a few miles away. RIP Sammy. Nature is beautiful, but needs to be respected and protected.
