We had a bunch of thunder and lightning last night.
I was visiting my grandma when I was a kid, and the tree in the yard next door was struck by lightning. Loudest thing I have heard in my entire life. And of course it comes out of nowhere, so it startles the ever loving bejeezus out of you. The tree literally exploded - shreds of it scattered throughout her yard.
The house down the street from my family had their front fascia get hit by lightning last year and we were in the garage and the power of it made everything shake and the vibration was intense. They had some attic damage too but it was very minor. The facia was blown across the street.
Lightning strikes are scary as hell. Happens more frequently than people realize.
We were watching a storm several years ago and the strike hit a tree across the street from us. It took out a huge chunk, like a 2 x 4, that spun off across the road, sparks, fire flying. Luckily no one was driving by at the time. Scared the crap out of us! The grass was burned along the root line of the tree, so good lesson not to stand under a tree!
I have some 4K HDR highlights on Youtube, it'll give you an idea if your app supports it. Problem is their service was so unreliable I had to buy FuboTV instead.
I used to live on a lake and the lightening shows out our picture window were spectacular. The sheer volume of strikes that happened on the water was amazing. It was like a fireworks display every time. You could feel each one in your bones, it was that rattling.
@Gee Wally - When NESN360 works on B's and Sox home games the 4K is spectacular.
