Lightning’s Deadliest Hours Revealed | Louisville News

Lightning’s deadliest hours hit between noon and six PM—when you’re most likely outside enjoying the sun. The Southeast, especially Florida and Texas, bears the brunt with hundreds of injuries and nearly 100 deaths in Florida alone over the past two decades. Most victims? Out having fun—fishing, boating, or lounging on the beach. Yet there’s good news: lightning fatalities have dropped from 40 in 2006 to just 21 by 2025, thanks to smarter safety habits. Stay alert, heed the forecast, and know that even as nature’s fury strikes, awareness is your best shield. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
