Yup, it is not a typo. Central Florida is the lightning capital of the world, just recently we've had half a dozen people who were struck by lightning in the same week. Most people know about staying indoor and avoid hiding a tree, but lightning can still get you indoor. On average, about 50 people are killed by lightning in the United States each year, according to the National Weather Service. So how do you protect yourself at home? Don't talk on the landline phone, stop playing hardwire video games and unplug your computer.
