NOAA's GOES-16 satellite's Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) has captured imagery of lightning flashes in the churning clouds of Hurricane Irma over the course of 80 hours (Sept. 4-8, 2017). "Hurricanes don't often exhibit a great deal of lightning, because their winds are mostly horizontal, not vertical," according to NOAA.
