Lightning Storm we had sat night about 25 miles from me, they called it a dry lightning storm (no rain) never heard of it, never seen it before... looks unreal, but WTF?

I thought they call that heat lightning or something around these parts.
I always loved lightning storms. The raw power is so amazing. So scary.
I think where you live, there is not much lightning storms? I mean it never rains so I guess you never have any storms?
Here we get them often I guess. We get to experience "hurricanes" coming from the South, and "tornadoes" from the west. Most of the time they are much smaller storms than where they originated. Couple weeks ago we had some storm knock out the power of 750,000 homes in CT for a couple days. Although that was mostly wind damage, tree limbs falling on lines.
Our house is next to a high tension high voltage electrical line easement. Not the ones that cause cancer, but bigger than what runs along the streets. There have been a few occasions where I think lightning may have struck the poles back there. The crack of thunder is an instant after a flash. It almost sounds like the crack of a whip.
My son tries to act brave, but when they hit like that he runs into my arms!
I hope your storms did not cause much damage or fires.
