I grew up in Oklahoma and have seen my fair share of tornados and thunderstorms. But there was one in particular that I remember from 20+ years ago, and haven't experienced the like since.
We had a tornado warning at work and we went outside to check the danger (if we should head to shelter). It was night, and it was calm outside, but the sky started to light up with lightning nonstop for what seemed like minutes. All around us, in every direction. Most of us just froze and stared up at the sky in silence. To shock a dozen Oklahomans into silence is quite something. I don't know if it was a megaflash, I've never heard that term before, but it was something.
