Looking at a thunderstorm map, Broward County gets 65 to 80 thunderstorm days a year. That's a lot. Here, we get less than 10 days with thunder, and that includes distant thunder, not just overhead.
It's like a snow lover saying Buffalo's climate sucks because it isn't as snowy as Syracuse, lol. Miami and the surrounding area gets some pretty immense thunderstorms, some of the best on YouTube I've ever seen.
Lol look at some of the ones on the west coast of FL or central FL and you'll know what I'm talking about.....Miami sees rather lame thunderstorms by FL standards.
If you lived here and constantly saw other areas of your state get sweet, booming storms and they fizzle out when they got here, you would understand my frustration.

I know your frustration because that happens here a lot, but I can't feel much sympathy for you when I'm sitting here getting 1 or 2 thunderstorms in the entire year. You're just being spoiled.

Lol, I get you
Kind of like someone who receives 200 cm of snow complaining to someone who gets 5 cm of snow about the fact they don't get enough snow lol but still though....
Not even consistent enough here and pretty much every other part of FL gets more frequent and better storms than here. This climate really is a ****hole.

At least when storms do hold together and hit Miami you get cloud-to-ground lightning. When I went to Louisville this summer, an afternoon storm blew up and there were lightning bolts striking everywhere to rival anything you'd see in the deep south. I don't get why that's so rare for my location, even when all the conditions are right. Just the same old flashes and crackling in the sky.

Reminds me of March+April 2015 when the Midwest got constant warm fronts which were conveniently pushed south whenever they went east of Chicago. You think that warm front is coming for the Northeast, except then right before reaching you the artic ridge nudges that front a couple hundred miles south. Ugh, that was so frustrating
