An electrified twilight sky, thanks to the back side of a supercell-containing storm complex, kept spitting sparks as ambient light faded. The two cloud-to-ground discharges happened within just a few seconds, but were separated by many miles between the main core region (distant left) and the translucent, trailing anvil area of light precipitation (right). The latter lit up the lives of travelers on Interstate 90—represented by the blob of headlights just leftward of the tall CG—likely startling a few who were more attuned to the distant flashes.
