Lightning Jump & Tor

While backing up Pleasant Hills, MO, we had a report of a tornado around 2045z near Tarkio. This is far from all local radars, so the weak rotation the radar was picking up was aloft (about 13kft).

Out of curiosity, we wanted to see if there was a lightning jump around the same time, and sure enough there was (from 28-100 flashes/min).
