I've always wondered something about those advisories....isn't all lightning dangerous?? Or, is it that they are speaking of more cloud to ground lightning rather than cloud to cloud?

Well, south florida is the lightning strike capital of earth (really!)...

I figure they mean lightning in a place where one might get struck...
