The Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite or Suomi NPP satellite carries an instrument so sensitive to low light levels that it can detect lightning in the middle of the night. The Day/Night band on Suomi/NPP produces night-time visible imagery using illumination from natural (the moon, forest fires) and man-made sources (city lights, gas flares). This image shows city lights, cloud cover, and lightning during the early morning hours of May 20 prior to the storms over Moore, OK and the Oklahoma City area. Overall, severe weather associated with the storm was responsible for 29 fatalities (25 from tornadoes) and nearly 400 injuries in the United States. Additionally, damage was estimated to amount to $2-5 billion, making it one of the costliest severe weather events on record.
