Just shy of 9,000 lightning strikes in and around Alaska on Tuesday, the most so far this summer. This is high but not extreme: last summer there were five days with more than 10,000 strikes. Since 2012 (the current lightning network configuration), the most strikes in a single day is 20,700 strikes on June 23, 2015. Graphic courtesy AICC.
