The following is a sequence of lightning shots from b/w 12 am and 1am.  The lightning was pretty intense. I missed many excellent shots, but I was able to capture several nice staccatos.  This storm produced several tornado warnings, one of which prompted sirens for my area. I was frustrated that they had done so because there was no reason for it. The was reason for them to my north but not my area. My guess is they issued the sirens because it is such a populated area. They also issued the warning because some one had reported funnels near Ada. This report I am highly skeptical about.  Often times there are SCUD tendrils that look like funnels but are not.  These “Tendrils” are ingested by the shelf cloud which usually has strong out flow winds under near it often times under cutting any type of ground circulation.  I saw many of these from my location.
