Interesting to see a cloud to ground lightning strike occur well away from main updraft cores in area with little if any meaningful reflectivity. Following loop is focused on the Yankton area, well removed from the main cells of thunderstorms. Image is a combination of GLM 5 minute accumulated event density and MRMS 1 km composite reflectivity.
A couple of things stood out to me. First you see the area of GLM areas of GLM events extending over the area followed by a few flashes, followed by a NLDN positive strike southwest of Yankton. The following image shows how far away that was from main core of storm. White dot represents location of positive cloud to ground strike.
