Many years ago, when I was living in rural Webberville, a particularly voilent thunderstorm blew through the area late at night.

About an hour after it cleared, I looked down the straight line of the street and saw the flickering lights of the storm as it moved farther and farther east. You could still see it as it was juuuuust above the treeline way down the road. At the time, I was meditating most every night, and took the time to enjoy the petrichor and meditated.

About fifteen minutes later, I opened my eyes and saw the lightning still going behind the trees. And then I saw, for a split second, a gigantic red "carrot" flash up above the treeline.

It was one of these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brh--gYjZts

Coo! That was quite a fascinating little clip. Can't say I've seen anything like red sprites, though I did get a great view of a storm from a flight one time, with a sort of "cavern" of cloud illuminated by lightning.
