haqi,

Does that mean 350 people are going to be struck by lightning in Florida this year?

ATTENTION FLORIDIANS. STAY IN YOUR HOUSES. DO NOT TOUCH METAL IN YOUR HOUSES. WEAR LINEMAN'S BOOTS AND GLOVES AT ALL TIMES. PROTECT YOURSELVES 24 HOURS A DAY UNTIL THE DANGER PASSES.

Chas :)

<<BTW, one is approx. 50 times more likely to be hit by lightning than bit by a shark. Just a plug for Florida.>>

Especially in Florida. Florida is not only the leading state in shark bites, it holds the #1 position in lightning strikes.

You have a far better chance of getting hit by lightning than winning the jackpot in a lottery.

That's why I said the chance of winning a lottery is less then your chances to get hit by lightning. Or are you just pointing out that the chances aren't just less but a lot less?
