Time lapse: Lightning lights up Ian's eye

Data: Chris Vagasky, National Lightning Safety Council. Map: Erin Davis and Jared Whalen/Axios Visuals
In a rare event, Hurricane Ian was illuminated by nearly continuous lightning flashes within the towering storms surrounding its eye, Axios severe-weather expert Andrew Freedman reports.

    "For an Atlantic storm, this is more lightning in the eyewall than I've seen in any other landfalling storm," Chris Vagasky, a meteorologist at the weather-tech company Vaisala, told Axios."Some Pacific storms have had more prolific lightning in the eyewall, but in this basin, Ian is right up there at the top — especially for eyewall lightning as it was coming ashore.
