Why do parts of Florida have over 100 thunderstorms a year while parts of Texas at the same latitude have less than one-third as many storms?

The state of Florida is both surrounded by water as well as having ample amounts throughout the state geographically. As a result, these conditions result in more evaporation and thus more moisture in the atmosphere. And with this location jutting out into the gulf, it's vulnerable to the warm Gulf air. Finally when the cool water meets the warm air, thunderstorms spring about like bunnies on fire. Texas has more dry, flat land. The southeast and north east part of this state however can become very hot and humid during spring and summer.
