Lightning-triggered upward negative (positive leaders) lightning flash from the 1,510ft WAFF transmitter in Huntsville, AL at 00:17:09 UTC. +19kA CG detected 9.7mi SE during time of flash. No NLDN or ENTLN detections near tower site, unsurprising given lack of impulsive events. That's also why the thunder was so quiet... the crackling that you can barely hear through traffic noise around 0:05 was it!

Lightning information provided by Vaisala's National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) through weather.us/lightning. Note that I only use this information to roughly estimate stroke intensity and distance, the data may be prone to error on my end and my work is not, and should not be considered to be, a formal evaluation of the NLDN's performance.
Thanks to Tom A. Warner and other lightning physicists and researchers who have helped me understand lightning processes explained in my videos. Tom has created a great resource for individuals interested in learning how lightning works.
