Today, from 5 am to 7 am we had lightning behaving unusually and the whole day after it's raining with occasional thunder, still going on and it's 8 pm.
Before 5 am dense clouds covered 1/5 of the sky, and were directly in front of my apartment and relatively close. Then the lightnings started flashing at amazing rate.
The frequency of the lightnings was very high. It first started with few lightnings per minute and reached peak of 3 lightnings a second for half an hour, then slowed down and stopped just as the sun was rising. There was no rain during the whole time.
I didn't see any lightning hit the ground. They were happening between clouds only at pretty high altitude of at least 10 km.
They didn't produce any sound at all, which is strange cause I think they were relatively close and regularly there would be sound from lightnings happening in such relatively close distance. It might have something to do with the fact that they didn't hit the ground, but I don't know.
The lightnings were happening in only 1/3 right portion of the cloud formation, and none of the lightning happened in other 2/3 of the formation as it appeared from my location.
Flashes were happening on 5-7 specific zones that were near each other and on same altitude and were happening alternately with kind of rhythm to it. It gave me impression like the nature is playing a composition on a instrument with 5-7 cords. Only there was no sound to it, but there was a rhythm.
To my estimation during those 2 hours between 6 and 10 thousand lightning flashes happened, all on same small area of the sky on same part of the cloud formation which almost didn't move at all during those 2 hours.
I didn't see this type of lightnings in my whole life except a year ago when I saw something similar and wrote about it here http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,28737.msg360743.html#msg360743
It got me impressed, but then again maybe it's nothing unusual but just something that happens rare and at night which is the reason you don't see it often.
