Anybody see the graphic on the weather of the lightning strikes out by Avon Park? Holy Cow, 1800 strikes within an hour!

You'd think with all the technology and scientific advancement over the years, we could harness that for power. In fact, didn't old Ben Franklin do an experiment along those lines back at the birth of the nation in the 1700s? I mean, here's the electricity just falling to the ground from the sky. Seems to me like Florida could be a real power generating state. But no, instead we have drill, baby, drill and suck that filthy oil out of the ground, get into wars over the stuff, pollute the Gulf, etc. Not to mention the fracking and exploding gas lines, etc. And here we have all these bolts of lightning, ready made, no fuss, no muss.

I believe it's probably possible, but the technology is suppressed, look how they suppressed so much of Nikolai Tesla's electrical technology.

Got that right. Ugh. We probably get enough lightning during the summer in Florida to power the entire country for a year or more. I think Tampa Bay is the lightning capital of the US.

Don't need one kmarc. Independently wealthy, as I worked for BIG BAD oil. I am just so surprised that it took this long for our lightning power suppression scandal to come out. Bravo to you for discovering it.

That's what politicians like to call a flip flop folks!

That is why I long since gave up even responding, because this is not the first time.

Nuff said LOL!

Tonight the winds are east southeast according to Paul Dellegatto.

This is why I always show screenshots, so there is evidence of what I speak.

So as the winds switch to the west, that means then that the Windflow has changed. West winds changing do not leave them as West winds LOL.
