"How many thunderstorms occur each year?
Nearly 2000 thunderstorm cells are estimated to be present over the planet at any given time. It is estimated that globally there are 16 million thunderstorms each year. In the United States, central Florida has almost 100 thunderstorm days annually. Other areas with large numbers of thunderstorms include much of the Gulf Coast region and the Rocky Mountains and adjacent High Plains. Kampala, Uganda may hold the world record for thunderstorms, averaging 242 rumbly days each year, though portions of Indonesia may have more. Between 1916 and 1919, the city of Bogur averaged 322 thunderstorms per year. There the rainy season could also be called the noisy season."

Tucson...I don't think so. Fl is the lightening capital of the world, and the same with thunderstorms. Which city in Fl is a good question though, and it probably varies from year to year. I live in the Panhandle and we get some good ones, but so does the rest of the state. Anyone from NOAA out there?
