Since it's about lightning I have to ask...Lightning releases natural nitrogen and makes lawns green? Anyone see any studies on that? I know nitrogen makes leaves green but never heard of using Lightning for it.

Go to 7:15. Says because he gets a lot of Lightning/Thunderstorms at his location so he doesn't want to use as much nitrogen for his lawn. Shows his location at 1:07. Cool lawn journal too (2:20).

Good maps showing how many times each county seen a Severe Thunderstorm Watch (Not warning) from 2007-2017

Eastern PA with same amount as northern plains.

Hate to live around central plains area

Why make a new thread now, in the middle of the year?

So much more men than women. I wonder why that is. I'm guessing it's because men are more likely to work outdoors and also because they're less cautious?

And you wonder why there are fatalities. Is it just a matter of learning or they are just nieve?
