Some people say that it is very rare. Truth be told this is NOT true. It is rare but not very rare. I have truly seen this a lot in my area. So, don't listen to the people who say it is very rare because they are lying (or they are blind).
BTW, while i was writing this answer i saw 3 cloud to cloud lightnings.
