It struck about 100 m away from me as I was at a red light during my commute home.
It struck down on something across the road at the docks, sparks flew in the air.
The thunder was immediate and the loudest thing I've heard.
Amazing.

    Last month here, the storms were so severe, it seemed like every single strike (lightning and thunder) were right over your head.

    the entire month, I've never seen anything like it either

    and I like storms, but some of these scared me
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    Lightning is definitely one of the scariest and awe-inspring phenomenons mother nature has to offer. I have crazy amounts of respect for the power of lightning

    had a bolt strike about 20-30 feet away from me as I was looking out the window wondering what would happen if my flag pole got hit. BANG.....time to change shorts
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    +1. I think the whole science and phenomenon behind electricity is fascinating.
