I have yet to fly in Florida, but as the thunderstorm capital of the US,
Florida has a large population of GA pilots who somehow receive utility
from their aircraft during the very active t-storm season.


Seldom are Florida cells embedded. Most of the time they are individual
cells or squall lines that are relatively easy to pick out. You can often
zig-zag around them at altitudes that are well below oxygen altitudes even.
That general tendency may induce some complacency that causes pilots to
underestimate the hazards on those occasions when the t-storms are more
widespread or are embedded.
