The article describes daily storms with intense lightning and temperatures near 27 000 degrees Fahrenheit. It notes flashes occur within clouds, between clouds, and sometimes strike the ground, with examples like the Empire State Building receiving multiple strikes. It also mentions upward strikes from the ground as a newly discovered feature.
