Really interesting and potentially life saving research.I would like to understand,what mechanism,the researchers think forms this correlation.There is a truth in the last guys quote, “heavy on statistics and weak on the physical linkages between lightning and hurricanes."Though of course I would need to read the whole article.Good story,I will look at "Nature Geoscience's"website and try to investigate further.Thanks for sharing
