Yes the US certainly does. When I was in New Jersey about 8 years ago I remember seeing lighting like I have never seen before! I’m not sure if that area is particularly prone to lightning but it was an amazing scene - like I’ve never seen before!

The rain in China was crazy and the volume of the thunder was almost deafening at time!

Yes thank you, New Zealand is one amazing country- you would love it here as it’s a photographers heaven!:)
