It's the humidity difference, I think. Here it's more a desert landscape, incredibly dry. So you'll have thunder and lightning but no rain at all for the most part. And in the daytime the humidity is so low that everything will give you a static shock upon touch. It's horrible haha.
But over there, especially since it's more coastal, there's higher humidity from all the water around.
When they cut the trees, they do not cut them down, but instead cut any branch that may be problematic during a storm. I used to worry about how much they were cutting off, but the climate here is very hospitable to growing things, and the trees always seem to continue growing without a problem.
Ahh I see, that's good then.
That's crazy about the static shock everywhere. Fascinating, but also that would suck haha
Yeah I never encountered that until I came here, and it isn't fun at all. Try to touch a door handle? Shock. Try to move a blanket? Shock. Picking up your laptop? Shock.
