We had a metric ton of lightning overnight. Family and I went out a nearby farm road around midnight to get a better view. Quite literally the entire western horizon was covered with strobe lights for as long as the eye could see. Just constant flashes. Tried to get the best video I could but it honestly doesn't even do it justice. We ended up losing power for about 5 hours after this line moved overhead. There wasn't crazy wind with the line so I'd assume it was caused by a lightning strike. Still waiting on some good hailers. We have yet to have any large hail since we moved here a couple years ago. Hoping to experience that before this severe weather bout is up. For now though, the lightning show was more than enough to tide me over. 20240616_235109.mp4
