14,000-plus lightning strikes per hour

Strewth!

That much lightning is hard to imagine. That part of the country certainly had an exciting month of May with all sorts of weather records being broken - which is never a good thing.

All,

 

I'm glad I didn't say that (14,000). It's hard to imagine being able to take a photo with just ONE lightning bolt. 14,000 would be almost continuous wouldn't it? How many seconds in an hour?

 

You're right Newt - never a good thing.

PS Many may be surprised at the "rolling hills" of Kansas

Little sign of any rolling hills in that photo!
