I'd have to say that he doesn't seem to like Washington state :

Close to 2,700 lightning strikes were reported in Washington and Oregon on Friday and early Saturday, sparking 212 fires

And for those that don't want to be seen reading Harry Potter, try these (NSFW) replacement covers

Washington is my home state! *beams*

NZ gets 50,000 strikes per year.

Washington is roughly the size of ... hmmm... the North Island if you squashed it into a rectangle shape. (It take six hours to drive from Seattle to the eastern border of the state, and about.... 4.5 hours to drive it top to bottom).

Oregon is roughly the same size.

I'm betting the strikes were on the east side of both states - as it's drier and more prone to extreme weather. And it's where most of the conservative folks live, so I'm going to adjust your post to say God doesn't like the conservative people on those states!

Heh, it's more the 2,700 in one and a half days I was getting at, i.e.: when translated to your New Zealand figures, as if New Zealand was being hit by approximately 633,000 strikes per year! :)

But yeah, I agree it's the conservatives that are being targeted! :)

That's good news!

mostly because all the Pagans I know in WA live on the western side of the state... hehehe.

Vanessa (excitabubble) just noted that Hawke's Bay [also on the east side] gets way more lightning than here in Wellington. ...And it's generally much more conservative there too.

...hmmm
