Tonight is perfect for these kinds of shots- lots of lightning shooting around the sky, but fortunately, still dry.
To get this shot, I used a tripod and the shutter release cable. I placed the shutter speed on "bulb" and just kept clicking and holding down the cable for approximately 10-35 seconds hoping to catch a good shot. I did catch several nice lightning streaks- these two were the best.

Waahooo!!! These look amazing! I love the way you captured all the "strings" coming off the side of the main strike. Lawdy, I wish I had been shooting this storm instead of driving in it.
