This view is northwards, towards the OCA Anza observatory which is visible on the horizon, just left center of the image. While the lightning bolts look close by, they were about 5 miles away, beyond the hilltop that the observatory sits on. After these large lightning bolts, the storm hit the site with just a few minutes of rain and then dissipated completely.
