The lightning is very exciting to see and a bit scary at times.

Until recently it was believed that the Tampa Bay area in Florida was the lightning capital of the world, but now apparently it is some place in Rwanda.

All of you are wrong. Rwanda is the lightning capital of the world.
"Rwanda, a country in Central Africa, has been dubbed the most dangerous place on the planet to cavort outdoors. Scientists say space satellite sensors, spying on the globe below, don't lie.
Rwanda experiences a whopping 82.7 lightning flashes per square kilometer. We receive a puny 35.4. NASA scientists say Florida still boasts the most lightning-scorched landscape in North America."

It's in Brazil. The other place is Florida, especially around the Naples area, on the Gulf coast.
