Yes, walking around on Florida's beaches with 2 metal rods during a thunderstorm wouldn't be real smart Lighting can strike miles from a storm off shore too..
Yes it does Mark, especially when ya look up and black clouds to the north and black clouds to the south. I turned and looked west and said, what the heck it is black to the west. I was parked to the east, thank god no black clouds so took off as fast as I could for the Jeep. It all came up really fast, but hey that is Florida for ya. I am use to it so it does not bother me. I was parked close by anyway.
