You should have been up here. We heard that strike. It was nuts. The volume of thunder was crazy. I was up much of the night because no one could sleep, it was so loud. Woke everyone up, kids were crying. The one strike was so close that could hear the thunder while still seeing the lightning! Shook the house so hard my daughter's light up sole sneakers lit up with no one wearing them!

Wow, that's crazy but awesome. I'm a thunderstorm fan though. I miss them. There was one here the other night, but it was late.

@scottalanmiller a few years ago we had a bolt strike the neighbors tree. You could taste the ozone in my house.

I had my house get hit when I was little, maybe five years old. I can still see it happening. Luckily, no damage. Must have grounded.

@scottalanmiller You weren't the only one. Kids had just gone to bed for us when we were getting bombarded with lightning strikes, more than usual and closer in proximity. I would estimate probably 2 where within 2 blocks of me. When I was driving out this morning, I saw a utility truck near a tree. Not positive but I assumed lightning struck the tree.

That would explain the issue I am having in one of the classrooms

YouTube might be back up but I was signed in before it went down. I'm signed out now.

They might want to think about it, with you know, billions of users
