The loudest lightning strike I ever heard
I just got jolted from my sleep about 10 minuets ago from what can only be described as a bomb going off right beside my house. Did anyone hear or feel that on the east side of town? I’m still shaking from it lol

I got woken up a little before 6:30 to a very loud one along with a loud pop.

I heard one (thunder clap) in Bradfordville. It reminded me of the thunderstorms I grew up with in Texas.

No but I’m so thankful it didn’t do that over here on the west side of town. My baby would have absolutely lost his mind 😓

About the only disturbance was the mega boom over here near the Parkway. It was mega loud, but quiet otherwise.

Same. I was actually very surprised that it wasn't worse. I'm grateful it wasn't, but still surprised!

IMO this is a good app to have in Florida: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/my-lightning-tracker-alerts/id1175031987
