There has been quite a bit of lightning action lately with the storms being tracked in real time.... go to http://www.lightningmaps.org/realtime?lang=en  [1]
It is also a good time to update your 72 hour emergency kit or house supplies as we are part way through the season.... re fresh the water supply, check batteries, and other necessities.
Have a good rest of the summer.
