Ok, lets me cut to the chase by saying my location is Indiana, North of Indianapolis but well South of Chicago.
And anyone who drives in the by ways and highways of that area at all hours of the day or night, experiences a wide range of weather.
But in terms of "Normal" Indiana atmospheric electrical electrical activity, there are maybe two classes.
1. The full blown thunderstorm, usually caused by the collision of weather fronts, where one usually gets heavy rain, the electrical activity of very strong cloud to cloud or cloud to ground high voltage lightening activity delivered in discrete packets, and as a daughter process we get the sound of thunder that follows the visual lighting display of lighting at a slower rate. Can occur at any time of the year but far more common in summertime.
2. Heat lighting that almost always only occurs on warm summer nights that are very warm and humid. And unlike thunderstorms, there is seldom weather fronts, there is no rain, and instead of discharging electrical in high energy packets of lightening, heat lightening more resembles a neon light that never has the poop to quite light up. It just flickers and that is it.
Now in my long winded fail, to cut to the chase, last night, for the first time in my life, I observed heat lightening on steroids, orders of magnitude more intense than any heat lightening I had ever seen before.
My motivation to go out and look instead of watching the inside of my eyeballs in bed was the fact that was the fact that the sun had just experienced a massive solar event
mass particle event. As I asked my self, could I see Northern lights as far South as central Indiana? And the answer to that latter question was a definite no last night.
But I now ask, was the heat lightning on steroids I saw last night a product of the solar event of a few days ago?
As for me, I don't know, but can anyone give me a definitive answer?
