Florida in the summertime is a blast if you like thunderstorms! Every day around 2:00pm the giant clouds roll in with a killer laser light show (fun as long as you're not driving). Hurricane parties are fun too as long as it's a category three or less.
But Midwest storms are a different beast for sure! I used to love watching them with my dad on the porch in Springfield.
I was shocked at how much lighting/thunder Florida gets! I had no idea until I looked at that heat map. That's wild. All the more reason for us to plan more visits to see each other. :)
Our Florida thunderstorms are definitely on par with the Midwest. When we first moved here, there was a drought going on. Holiday fireworks postponed. But thunderstorms made their way to 4216. In a span of three years we had three strikes or power surges. One struck a tree and came in through the tv. Two other times I had damage to my computers. Each July 4th I came to expect strikes. Not the pleasant time watching lightning in the distance I remember from Illinois.
