This high-based dryline storm blasted a load of electricity through the cloud-ground gap, both to equalize charge on a temporary basis and to let us know that proceeding further down the Oklahoma red-dirt road would be riskier. The threat there arose not only from lightning, but from just enough rain to turn the road into a slippery mire of thick red-clay mud. Having experienced that before, we decided that discretion was the better part of valor, and enjoyed this storm from just the right distance.
