the.com/electric storm
The sky having a panic attack and billing it as a light show.
means A storm marked by intense lightning activity, often with relatively little rain — nature's electrical discharge on full display.
from A plain descriptive compound: 'electric,' from Greek 'elektron' (amber, whose static properties the Greeks noticed when rubbed), plus 'storm,' from Old English 'storm,' meaning violent weather. The term became common once 'electric' entered everyday vocabulary after the study of electricity took off, letting people name lightning-heavy storms by their defining feature rather than their rain.
