A needed respite from the road turned into a marvelous electrical show in the sky outside a northern Oklahoma truck stop. Several magnificent discharges split the rainy sky before the responsible elevated storm raced off to the east-northeast and weakened. Looking at this alone, one wouldn’t guess that feet behind me sat a row of diesel-exhaust-belching 18-wheelers idling and rumbling away. Fortunately the wind was northerly outflow!
