Number of lightning strikes in one minute. The color codes indicate the type of lightning -- intra-cloud, cloud to ground, and plolarity. When I last looked at that web-site last night, they had recoreded over 383,000 strikes during a 24-hour period.

The National Weather Service this morning indicates that peak wind gusts may have reached 100 mph last night. Some nearby areas saw 3/4 inch hail.
