A better estimate is 100 strikes per second. At any given time there are about 2,000 thunderstorms occurring worldwide. In most of them lightning will strike every few minutes to every few seconds. if wee divide 100 strikes per minute by 2,000 storms we get an average of 3 strikes per minute (a strike every 20 seconds) per storm, which is a pretty reasonable frequency.
