The moisture in the air can also depend on the type of storms that form. Storms in places such as Florida, GA, Texas, OK, Alabama are much more stronger then the ones in the north due to high level of humidity and juice that its in the air in the summer.

I live in Wichita, Kansas- about 60 miles north of Oklahoma state line. The lightening we have here in south-central KS is wicked and deadly! Of course, we gets lots of severe thunderstorms, gust fronts and super cells! I saw an interview witha storm chaser on the Weather Channel a couple of years ago- he was chasing a tornado east of Wichita- he said the lightening he saw that night was the worst he'd seen in his 20 years of storm chasing! ouch. The more severe the storms the worse the lightening. North Texas, OK and KS are really bad. I spent the summer in Lake of the Ozarks Missouri- east of here a couple of hundred miles- a couldn't believe how little lightening they get compared to Wichita.

Lightning strikes Texas frequently because God is really pissed at your state for foisting the war criminal GW Bush onto the nation.

Some areas have better environments in creating lightning than others. I think a large flat area that gets hot is more suitable for lightning than cold mountanous areas.
