WX500 Stormscope/G1000
A couple of days ago I was IFR from UK to South West France, weather had indicated some isolated CBs and I was in and out of cloud at FL100, nothing on the Stormscope in my path, nothing high that I could see, one or two strikes off my left wing about 50 miles away, it was in strike mode. I popped out of cloud briefly and entered another cloud that had a top of around 13000, looked a bit dark but nothing on the scope so went in. Within seconds my headset was off and alarmingly on the scope there were maybe a couple of dozen strikes all around me. There seemed to be less of my right wing so I turned and was out in around a minute, a bit rattled. During the following minutes the strikes on the scope faded and I continued staying out of the way of anything similar. I've gone through the pilots manual for the WX500 and can't find anything to explain the sudden appearance of these strikes, if anyone has any ideas regarding this I'd like to hear them.
