The typical thunderstorm is 15 miles in diameter and lasts an average of 30 minutes.

There are about 1800 thunderstorms that occur at any moment around the world.

Lightning often strikes outside of heavy rain and may occur as far as 10 miles from a rainfall.

Approximately $100 million in annual losses result from forest and building fires caused by lightning.

Hope this helps!
