I live in southwest Florida so would I be scared of thunderstorms, not really. It may not be the lightning capital of the world, but it does hold the record for most days out of the year that thunder can be heard, this means it thunders a lot. A few months ago I saw a storm with lightning strikes happening one after another with about one lightning strike per two seconds. As for snow, I rarely see it, but with the time I have been around snow, I have loved seeing it.
