Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Missouri, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania have the most lightning deaths and injuries. Florida is considered the “lightning capital” of the country, with more than 2,000 lightning injuries over the past 50 years.

that’s what i saw when i saw that

i blame the government

fatalities is different from being struck

doesn’t the second link say 43 fatalities per year

it says the 43 people is 10% of the total

i’m blind.

data is still wrong either way
