Weather People Are Amazing

There was a pretty nasty apartment fire over Tampa way this afternoon, thought to have been sparked by a lightning strike.  I can't remember seeing lightning strike maps very much up North, but here in the Lightning Strike Capital of the United States, we see them every day on the news.

So our weather guy cues up the lightning strike map for the afternoon, zooms in on the apartment block, backs up through the time lapse until he sees a lightning strike over that very block (at 3:16 pm), and BOOM! the apartment is on fire.  Nobody has been hurt, all residents evacuated and the fire is out now, but isn't that just amazing?  I was amazed.  --cds
