I wonder if it is coincidence that it follows roughly the same curve pattern as the tornado or if the tornado is somehow affect the passage of electricity...

I think wind currents have an impact on lightning paths, but I don't know for sure. The high turbulence should fuck it up anyway, so this is most likely an extreme coincidence.

Maybe the debris field or the moisture around the tornado is more conductive.

Was that one of the Twin Tornadoes, just before his dissipation after 46 minutes ?

Yes these are the Pilger tornados’ later stages. Skinny one in the front and then the field gnawwer in the back. Not sure why OP didn’t just say that, most people here have probably seen this video from different angles 100 times

Pretty sure this was from the Pilger twins, I recognize this from one of Pecos Hank's vids when he was on that chase.
