Take this exact view but from the deck outside. 1,250' amsl.
Now imagine a dark night with a clear view of the stars. In the distance we watched the most fantastic display of vast and very tall Chinese lanterns flashing away over most of the horizon you can see in the pic. It was stunning and very beautiful...but something was wrong: there was not the slightest sound.
I was really puzzled and looked at the radar channel on T/V which was live. They were 300 miles away well north or Dallas!
