Lightning Pics From Yesterday - C&C + Play

I took this shot last night before the storm reached me, was happy that I was able to get this, along with one other. The OOC shot has a strong "purple" cast to it, way to warm OOC. Should I have not shot AWB for these? Is it better to go manual white balance for night shots?

Anyway, tell me what you think of my PP efforts, and would love to see what you all would have done with the image (PP, crop, etc.).
