- ChuckMcM 12y agoYour right of course. On the map the of lightning strikes they are (or at least were when I looked at it) happening in the Bible Belt according to the Wikipedia link. Along the top of Texas and up through Missouri. My error was in conflating the name of the regions. I apologize to any folks who live in the region known as the midwest who were offended.
