Getting moderate rain in Apopka, FL now ..just heard a good Thunder Boom

I'm on your side.

Sorry for "making it a matter."

Not a problem at all

nice radar Ed1 , I saw a killer lightning show around 3:30pm driving near the 436 and 434 intersection in Altamonte Florida. Nice gust front too. My guess would be positive bolts jumping ahead of the heavy rain. They also looked very powerful. Multiple discharges, could have gotten a daytime lightning photo very easily if you were ready.

I saw some good lightning strikes off in the northern horizon fom me.

Here is some of the edge approaching my area.
