Weatherwunder, there sure a lot of thunderstorms out there this afternoon and evening... most of them over Texas. Some activity to my south/southwest, too.

Yes, I just looked at the radar shots, and it is pretty intense.

The majority of the thunderstorms were occuring ahead of a surface cold front across most of Louisiana and off the southeast Texas coast.

Just a quick comment on lightning strike counts.
I currently am a beta tester for Boltek's new Lightning Detection Network. We have installed a Boltek receiver (if you're interested in more on this:
http://www.wrel.com/lightning_ldn.htm).
A significant number of recorded strikes actually are "noise"...impulses produced from non-lightning sources. I've been told 20% of impulses recorded as "strike" actually are non-filtered noise. But is isn't uncommon to get a true strike count in the thousands on an active day! I've recently watched some cells in the Mid-Atlantic produce over 100+ CGs withing 30 minutes. Impressive.
