    13,102 bolts of lightning struck ground, thats the highest amount of strikes recorded according to The Hong Kong Observatory on Sept 8th. Such was the extent of the storm that people starting reporting UFOs across the city.

    You wouldn't catch me anywhere near a window during that.

    That's amazing. Even more amazing is the lights never went out or even flickered.

    Just ONE of those strike in my town and it'd be blacked pout for three days!!!
