Hurricanes are differentiated from extra tropical cyclones by having warm cores. Since they are thermal lows that form in the tropics, their initial formation is strongly dependent upon surface temperatures. Ocean temperatures are sufficiently warm to generate such surface thermal lows in the subtropical and tropical ocean areas of the world.
Why do hurricanes seem to be restricted to tropical and subtropical ocean areas?

The flow of charge (current) produces a luminosity that is very much brighter than the part that came down. This entire event usually takes less than half a second causes lightning.
What causes lightning?

Hurricanes and tropical storms form at the latitude of the prevailing easterlies at the surface and of the easterlies in the lower 2/3 of the atmosphere above the surface. Thus the "storm track" at the latitude where hurricanes form extends from east to west, rather than west to east, as it does in the middle latitudes.
Why do hurricane tracks extend from east to west?

A hurricane is an intense tropical cyclone with maximum 1-minute sustained surface wind greater than 64 knots originating over tropical or subtropical waters. Hurricanes and tropical storms are also associated with organized convection having definite counterclockwise surface wind circulation, often observable in cloud motions and features.

Lightning victims do not carry an electrical charge, are safe to touch, and may need immediate medical attention. Cardiac arrest is the immediate cause of death for those who die. Some deaths can be prevented with proper first aid. Call 911 and then give first aid. CPR and use of AED may be needed.

In addition, about half of all flashes have more than one ground strike point, so at least 30 million points on the ground are struck on the average each year in the US. Besides cloud-to-ground flashes, there are roughly 5 to 10 times as many cloud flashes as there are to ground.
