![16,000 individual lightning bolts strike the same path as the coming eclipse from Texas to NY. [1440x2251 - 218KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/v3c1Sx.jpg){kind=link}
What you are showing are scattered systems. Multiple storms...
What about this storm made it an anomaly? Just the general southwest-to-northeast front line? Did it remain stationary or do something atypical? Is 16,000 bolts abnormal for that very large area spanning Texas to NY?
We don't have "single systems" (Mesoscale Convective Systems) that span the entirety of the US north to south. That shit happens in the tropics. Clearly you didn't read my comment and went straight for trying to debunk something you know nothing of...
I'm not trying to debunk anything. I'm trying to understand why you think a line of clouds from Texas to NY is atypical. Then I thought maybe the special thing here is 16K bolts, but no it doesn't seem out of the ordinary. To me, trying to find a connection between a line of clouds you see today, to a path of an eclipse tomorrow, is pretty tenuous at best. Don't point the finger at me if I'm trying to understand how you connect these things.
