Following up upon three well deserved comments from CAS members about your photo, here is my contribution, if I may.
I like much the portrayal of cloud glory above set in contrast to the glowering and growling threatening skies below. I like the welcome inclusion of the two seemingly fleeing huge juggernauts on the road which lend handsome scale to the cloud drama and edifice above.
Thanks much!

This type of lightning spotted over Lubbock, Texas, US, is known as anvil crawler lightning, it travels horizontally, never hits the ground but 'crawls' on the underside of the anvil of a Cumulonimbus cloud.

I followed this storm in May of 2015 from Lubbock, Texas, to the east about 30 miles down State Highway 40. It produced a massive amount of rain and hail. It also produced a couple of tornados which I could not get close enough to photograph because of the high water left.
