The result is the nearly daily development of clouds that produce thunderstorms. For example, "Lightning Alley"—an area from Tampa to Orlando—experiences an extremely high density of lightning strikes. As of 2007, there were as many as 50 strikes per square mile (about 20 per km 2) per year.

According to the CDC there are about 6,000 lightning strikes per minute, or more than 8 million strikes every day. [11] As of 2008 there were about 240,000 "lightning strikes incidents" around the world each year. [12] According to National Geographic in 2009, about 2,000 people were killed annually worldwide by lightning. [13]
On Earth, the lightning frequency is approximately 44 (± 5) times per second, or nearly 1.4 billion flashes per year [34] and the median duration is 0.52 seconds [35] made up from a number of much shorter flashes (strokes) of around 60 to 70 microseconds. [36]
That number places Milton at the 11th-largest tornado outbreak from a hurricane, tied with Gustav 2008 and Florence 2018. Even though the storm didn't crack the top 5, Milton's tornadoes are an ...
The most intense storm by lowest pressure and peak 10-minute sustained winds was Typhoon Tip, which was also the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in terms of minimum central pressure. Storms with a minimum pressure of 899 hPa (26.55 inHg) or less are listed. Storm information was less reliably documented and recorded before 1950. [9]
August is a busy month for thunderstorms in Florida, with downpours typically dumping 6-10 inches of rain on the central and southern parts of the peninsula throughout the month.
