They aren't rare at all. Anyone who is out in the gulf a lot is accustomed to seeing them. More cameras, more internet, more social media ...... That's all.
Many times there are multiple posts of the same sighting on a given day.

[sMASH]

ok ok, land lover here... did not know that...

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

South looking like it will have some rain later as this ITCZ activity moves in a north eastward direction

[brickman]

[Les Bain]

[Morpheus]

[sMASH]

The sky skitzo.. one minute blazing hot next minute pouring, then back to bright and shiny...

[Kronik]

Got about a hr and half of rain in Couva, all done now

[redmanjp]

With all the lightning we have ensure that all lines, not just electricity but phone/cable etc. are grounded to minimize the chance of lightning induced damage to attached appliances

[Morpheus]

You know just a couple hours ago I checked the main ground wire. It was not secured

And FLOW ground wire in a mess too....

Caribbean Sea by the middle of next week.
