I'm a little unclear - this single thunderstorm developed at midnight and went continually through 9am? That seems pretty long especially by east coast standards.

My friend had told me that the storm was formed around 12 a.m, so I put down what I was told. If I am wrong, then I will go over the information and correct it.

That seems EXTREMELY unlikely, so you might double-check.
