Lightning, Lanai and Fond Memories

By
Real Estate Agent with TOUCHSTONE REAL ESTATE

Awhile back I shared that Florida was the lightning capital of the U.S and Four Corners, FL just outside of Orlando is where the most lightning occurs.  Yesterday around 5:00 we have a line of Thunderstorms roll through so what did I do?  Went outside and sat on the lanai.  Yes, I have a roof and my lanai is 22’ x 30’ and screened in so plenty of room to sit in a dry area and watch the storm.

Growing up in Pennsylvania my dad was a thunderstorm watcher, we had a under roof back porch where we would sit and watch the storms.  Our little town was in a valley actually “The Cumberland Valley” for those that know the area and we would watch the storms come over the mountains and sometimes the storm would come back.  Yesterday at 5:00 an adult beverage in hand I sat and watched the storm and remembered my dad and I sharing the same interest.  Thanks Dad!

Awww, I have the same memories - we used to go outside on our covered porch (dad and I) and watch the thunder and lightening. I still love to do that!

Good morning Dick. My son likes to watch the storms move through every chance he gets but from inside his apartment in the sky near Lake Michigan. Quite the view. Enjoy your day.

A moving experience!

There is something special about listening to the rain fall on the roof, and watching the sky show from a warm and dry vantage point (with an adult beverage), isn't there?

Kat Palmiotti it is all on how we were raised, some kids were raised by parents afraid of storms we were raised the right way!
