Severe Thunderstorms- Skies look like strobelights!

[Derontchi]

So there is a sever thunderstorm warning going on right now, and it seems pretty bad.
I'm looking at the thunderstorms right now, out in the distance. And when I say this, I am not exaggerating. The skies LITERALLY look like strobelights, because there is so much lightning. I have also seen some sparks flying in the air a couple times from transformers (power grid) being hit. There was even red lightning/sparks once. Can anyone give me some advice on what to do? Or if there's anyone who lives in NE Oklahoma, could you tell me anything else you might know?
I can't remember a thunderstorm this bad in quite awhile, so I don't really know what to do. Any information is appreciated.

You should be fine, so as long as you aren't outside in the middle of a plain field, you won't get struck by lightning or something. If you want to check out live lightning to past the time, you can use this site. (it'll be rather quiet since only strong strikes will be detected as it isn't the same as getting paid lightning data obtained by larger and more sensitive networks.)  And assuming the right region, this site for tracking the storm on radar. Otherwise just use wunderground, since you probably won't have use for most of the other products.

Honestly I'd like some storms that were actually severe in my area, but guess storm season is over here.

EDIT: Found a lightning mapping array site for Oklahoma, which can also be of some use I guess: http://lightning.nmt.edu/oklma/ 

That's untrue. Being the tallest object in a large, flat area definitely makes you susceptible to being struck by lightning. However, many people are struck without that being the case.

I also partially implied that he'd be inside, and that alone would greatly reduce chances of being struck by lightning, however obviously not make him invincible from it.

Thanks for all the help man. I'm not seeing quite as much lightning as I was a few minutes ago, I guess, so maybe we managed to miss that part. But I think the wind speeds are still pretty bad because I'm seeing grown-ass trees going all over the place.

How does red lightning even happen? What on earth would make it red?

UPDATE: Maybe I was wrong. We just lost all cellular and wireless functions within the house so I'm posting on my phone. We have yet to lose power.

Well, it happens like any other lightning. Look it up if you want.

Let me google that for you.

Oh please, thunderstorms like that are like a weekly thing in Maryland during the summer.

Lightning storm precautions:
 - Stay indoors
 - Avoid contact with pieces of metal which are connected to somewhere outside (If you're in a car, avoid leaning against the doors/window)
 - If you're concerned about your electronic equipment, either disconnect it from the power or ensure that it is behind a suitable surge protector
