I just seen on the weather channel that they picked up 7000 lightning strikes in 1 hour from a storm heading for New York area. That is some crazy electrical charges. Is that normal?

funny u said that... I'm in NJ and i was actually just sitting out side watching a thunder storm pass. I dont think 7000 is too extreme a number from what i just saw but then again i'm no weatherman

I'm right in the middle of that storm and it was intense - probably the most electrically charged storm I've ever seen, with flashes of lightning occuring every 15 seconds or so until the storm passed.

I heard it before I saw it. We missed most of it but a second wave just passed through or is still passing through ( i just heard some more thunder)

Fun stuff.

I'm in CT btw.
