Following up on that stark image of a tree posted on yesterday’s blog, I thought I’d toss out some lightning stats.
There have been 63 people killed and another 208 injured by lightning in Kansas between 1959 and 2008. While April, May and June see the most tornadoes in the Sunflower State, the most dangerous month for lightning is July. That’s when 15 fatalities and 51 injuries have been recorded.
