Here’s a shocker for you…Lightning strikes the United States approximately 25,000,000 times a year! Lightning is hotter than the surface or the Sun and can reach temperatures around 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit! While most lightning occurs in the summer, people can be struck at any time of the year. Lightning kills about 20 people in the United States each year, and hundreds more are severely injured.
