After the first such blast, I was somewhat optimistic that another bolt would fire miles outward from the side of this multicell storm, which looked rather ordinary apart from its wild aggression with lightning discharges. Surely indeed, it happened, followed in about a minute by a distant but sharp, reverberating peal of thunder. Once this amazing, forked eruption of storm electricity took place, I hoped first for another, and that nobody was unfortunate enough to be in the way.
