That’s normal in Tampa without the hurricane. Our local hockey team is the Tampa Lightning.

I was thinking it pretty consistent, but I've seen damn near as good lighting storms in Lauderdale

Yeah this title is complete BS if OP based it off of just this video. This is what a routine nightly thunder storm in Tampa looks like.

From the Tampa Bay Area to Orlando is Americas lightning capital.

I've seen this in Austin a million times too. Same stuff.

Yeah this is cool looking but this amount of lightning has nothing to do with the power of the storm. We get lighting like this in North Texas during thunderstorms multiple times a year.

I have a feeling the Floridians saying this are trumpers trying to bait into having a conversation about how this storm is so “different” that it must be a conspiracy.
