That was excellent confirmation from the fishermen, Chris!
Lillian, I feel certain that if you have an orgonite cloudbuster in Jinja it will greatly reduce the danger of lightning strikes because the clouds will then drop their rain before they build up into the stratosphere. Since Jinja is on the shore of a vast lake it's not unusual for dangerously tall thunderheads to build up, there.
It may be a good opportunity to gauge the effective range of a CB, there, because the cloud formation along that shore of Lake Victoria is probably uniform over a great distance.
