Lightning observations around Durango, Co

[GeezerD]

Lightning with the afternoon rain here, and I hear thunder but don't see any lightning. It's the kind where you hear it moving across the sky over the span of several seconds, usually without a single boom.  Checking the dynamic maps, I see that there have been ground strikes detected west of town, but nothing lately. I went outside to watch. I could observe no flashes, but what were likely IC discharges continued tearing overhead.

I saw a sudden flash to the east, clearly a ground strike, and counted seconds, ending up at about 25. Going into the house, there were new strikes detected at the same bearing and distance that I estimate for the strike that I observed.

Fun!
