University of Arizona researchers are trying to determine how much rain to expect based on how often lightning strikes.
The researchers already have come up with quotients for small-scale storms in Florida and large-scale storms in the Midwest. Now they're working on the relationship between lightning and rainfall in Arizona by using data from a local company that specializes in lightning detection.
