    Wow, thanks, I feel so reassured now that I know that one of the most common, terrifying, and harmful acts of nature recorded in human history only causes slightly more damage than school shootings, without accounting for the age demographic of the victims of either.

        I’ve seen lightning strikes twice this week and most of the time I’m not even looking. If I lived in a higher elevation I’d probably see more strikes than school shootings in the USA.
