Last night in NW Arkansas. Daughter took the picture from her deck.
Weather has been strange , at my AO we had 70 mph winds , lots of downed trees everywhere.

Edit : 10:00 pm today
I’m under a tornado watch , Severe Thunderstorm warning.
60 + mph winds 😖

That has to be AI, odds of capturing that shot are probably higher than the lottery.
Haven't used one but these do exist.

With actual high speed cameras there is a rolling couple of secondish buffer that you trigger the end.

Could be a continuous capture camera. It basically takes high frame-rate images constantly. They pass through a buffer and if the camera detects a lightning strike in it's view it saves those frames to permanent memory.

^^What LeftyJason linked to. but probably a better sensor in a pro-rig.
 
I hear the trick is to take a video and screenshot when the lightning hits. Not sure this is the case in this picture or not ??

There are actually new Devices called lightning triggers For digital cameras that are designed to capture lightning. They will fire the shutter faster than a human can and apparently sense some of the precursor energy to a lightning strike.

I believe thats the case here. The caption said she just happened to catch it as it hit. One hit a tree in my back yard. When I cut it down the entire center was burnt out.

Add that to your drone and the possibilities are endless
