You are probably right. However, having just videotaped a lightning storm a month ago, I was reminded of something that I had forgotten from the last time I did it: lightning doesn't just strike once. Most of the time the "flash" that you see is actually a series of flashes over a 200 - 1,000 millisecond interval. It is not unusual to have 3-4 flashes during that time, usually in the same location (if you can follow the stroke), but of widely varying intensity. The OP will have to decide whether to keep them all, or not.
