Hong Kong Hit By Record 13,000 Lightning Strikes in One Hour - Bloomberg

Hong Kong Hit By Record 13,000 Lightning Strikes in One Hour - Bloomberg: "Record lightning strikes pounded Hong Kong today in its most violent electrical storm, which caused flooding and left people trapped in elevators.

The Hong Kong Observatory reported 13,102 bolts of lightning struck ground across the city in the hour after midnight. That’s the most since such data was first collected in 2005, said David Hui, a scientific officer at the observatory. The storm raged from 9 p.m. yesterday to 4 a.m. today."
