At the Corner, Peter Robinson mentions that he wants to bring his kids to New England to, among other things, experience thunderstorms.
Are those even rarer in California than they are here? The idea seems odd, since thunderstorms are one of the aspects of Midwestern life I really miss. It seems we get a couple or three a year, and even those are pretty weak, both in rain output and thunder/lightning output. I have been around for the odd dying hurricane, and those have the intensity of rain you get from a good Midwestern cloudburst -- sometimes, even more intensity -- but in my experience, even they lack in thunder and lightning.
