We had a storm last week where 3 houses were hit by lightening within 2 miles of our house. The instant flash-boom makes your skin crawl.

The closest strike, less that 1/4 mile from here, blew a big hole in the roof. The house didn't catch fire but the down pour from the storm came right through the roof and ruined the whole inside.

The second strike blew half the roof off the house about a mile away. The third caught the roof on fire. Not much left once the fire dept. arrived.
