CAMP BLANDING, Fla. -- Lightning is perhaps the most unpredictable of all weather phenomena.

Where it will strike during a thunderstorm is a mystery and impossible to guess.

But at a testing facility in a remote part of North Florida, within range to hear machine gun fire on Camp Blanding, is where Dr. Martin Uman and Dr. Douglas Jordan are making some pretty impressive fire of their own.

"We are acknowledged as the number one lightning research and testing facility in the world," Uman said.

During the severe weather season, the two men are hard at work full time at the International Center for Lightning Research and Testing.

Uman and Jordan are University of Florida faculty who run the facility. 

They say they are only 3 others like this on the planet. 

"There's one in New Mexico, we know that," Uman said.

The other two he believes are in China, but research doesn't really show any others.

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. -- If you want an alcoholic drink in Clay County on Sunday, you have to wait until 2 p.m., but that law could soon change.

There is a referendum on the ballot in Clay County about when alcohol can be sold on Sundays.  Some business owners are pushing to move it to 7 a.m., which would make it consistent with the rest of the days of the week.

Elaine Cassala with Whitey's Fish Camp in Orange Park says the fact that they and other businesses can't sell alcohol until 2 p.m. puts them at a disadvantage and their customers are going to the surrounding counties.  She says not only are customers that want to have a drink going to other counties, but also fisherman who would stop by to buy bait and a case of beer early in the morning are not coming to Clay County to do that on Sundays.

MIDDLEBURG, Fla. -- Blossom Bittinger said when she started planning her wedding a year ago, the date October 11, 2012 stood out.

"We thought it would be an easy anniversary to remember," Bittinger said.

Bittinger and her fiancé Marty Phillips will not be only ones making it a day to remember.

According to a survey by David's Bridal, 10-11-12 is the date of choice for more than 4,000 couples across the country. The survey found 43 percent of brides considered having their wedding on a numerically significant date.

"I kind of figured maybe somebody else got the idea," Bittinger laughed. "I just love the date, you know. It's right in order. It just seems to go along with us."

The bride and groom said most of their family and friends have been accommodating about the mid-week ceremony.
