So I did some reading and confirmed that lightnings don’t play nice with boats which is kinda troublesome since I wanted my lightning bay to also be a major port city for merchants and pirates. I think what I’ll do is to fill the estuary with limestone pillar islands so that ships can dock safely between the islands and inside sea caves. The port city will be built on top of the islands and maybe on the cliff faces so that people can actually get off the islands. Some might also just build into the limestone like the Citadel in Mad Max
The city will be hit by severe lightnings every night due to its geography which I think the inhabitants will harvest the energy… somehow. I can see them building high towers of lightning rods to channel them into specific places but I don’t know where to go from there just yet. Maybe they use it to boil water and power some kinda steam infrastructure?
