Good morning, only one more day until Friday! Woohoo!

Fun Fact of the day: There are around 2,000 thunderstorms happening on Earth at all times

The number of thunderstorms you witness tends to depend on where on the planet you live. For instance, the U.S. experiences an estimated 100,000 thunderstorms each year. However, overall, there are 16 million thunderstorms annually on Earth. That breaks down to about 2,000 thunderstorms at all times, according to the National Severe Storms Laboratory.
