Thanks for sharing this video, Laurence. Seem to be taken at high speed an played slow motion. Very interesting how lightning moves.

Lightning is fascinating but very scary. There is no protection from it in the outdoors. So unless you are very far or inside a house or car, you are exposed. In the west of the US, lighting storms can be visible from great distances, I guess, in the midwest too. It has to do, I think, with the drier air, but also with the relief, the wide flat land. In the east, where I am, not such luck.
