Honestly, this would be THE reason to live in somewhere like Oklahoma. The lack of any hills and mountains in large stretches of the area combined with the location's propensity toward storms, really sets it up to be a hot spot for watching lightning storms from afar and watching the groundless strikes.

I live in the US south east, and it's a bit hilly where we are, and while I love the surrounding area, I don't have anywhere to watch the lightning like this unless it's just happenstance of it happening in a single specific spot. Driving around isn't really going to give me any better views since overall its' just more hills and trees (no complaints on the trees).

Stunning stuff.
