Abstract:
Although North Carolina is not a national leader in number of thunderstorms per year, it consistently ranks second in lightening deaths per year. Reasons for this phenomenon are due to recreation and agriculture. Due to long warm seasons, recreationalists are often outdoors during lightening season. Additionally, as North Carolina is an agricultural state, more people are likely to be in open fields when a storm hits.
