That's amazing! I've always wondered, what does a lightning strike sound like when you're that close?

Can't attest for them, but it sounded like a straight up explosion when lightning struck in my yard once. It hit a pole I believe, but nothing was damaged (except the router that got super-fried...) so maybe it would aound different depending on how it hits and what it passes through.
