For more than an hour, the skies over Austin flashed and rumbled with seemingly constant electric activity. People took to social media, posting videos of what, for some, seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime light show.
“We were getting about three strikes per second, which is considered a lot,” Austin meteorologist Mary Wasson confirmed. “And most of them were cloud-to-cloud [lightning strikes].”
The prevalence of cloud-to-cloud lightning in this storm is consistent with the low constant rumble of thunder noticed by some observers. Meteorologist Wasson said by the time the storm system reached Austin, the conditions were right to create a lot of lightning, but little hail or rain.
