Lightning in Chatham-Kent

Last night, much of southwestern Ontario was anticipating a tornado. It was calm right up until the sun went down when lightning started lighting up the sky. There were flashes of lightning every few seconds! Almost no thunder could be heard, and it rained very little. I believe this is called 'heat lightning' (correct me if I'm wrong). I tried to take some pictures of it, but it wasn't working out. Instead, I decided to film a video while we were driving and the one below is the best one I got. I was able to capture a few actual strikes of lightning, but the majority seem to be lightning occurring far away.
